I wonder how old this is. Buddy looks pretty young.

There is a great little movie about a kid wanting to be a blues man; Crossroads. It's very much worth watching and re-watching especially after you learn the background and Arlen Roth's heavy contribution to the film. See this; http://www.arlenroth.com/html/crossroads.shtml . FYI, Steve Vai has significant on-camera playing time at the end of the movie.

Some years later in 2012 Gibson issued a Ralph Macchio Crossroads Special Edition electric guitar even though Macchio actually didn't play (you coulda fooled me) and I don't think there were any Gibsons in the flick. ;)

You can get the DVD cheap at Amazon.

Thanks, axe2 for the YouTube tip. That was an enjoyable hour!
