Buddy Miles? Strat?  I thought he was a drummer (not that would
preclude him from playing guitar). Though I guess if you're going to
do a walk-on, it's easier to carry a guitar to the show than a set of
drums.

He played guitar pretty good. He was also a lefty.


He played it non-restrung, right Harvey? As in Albert King style as
opposed to Hendrix. Folk that play like that, they play crazy : )
