I saw Keith Allison when he was performing with Paul Revere and the Raiders, along with B.J. Thomas. It was the first concert I ever attended. The concert was at one of the local universities. I was 14 or 15 years old at the time. The whole concert was very exciting to me, but when Keith played a solo guitar set, I was blown away. He was playing what I now know was an early 50's Stratocaster. I'm pretty sure he was playing into an AC-30. He was playing blues and straight ahead high-energy rock. I was stunned! Never heard anything like this before. I expected to hear the "bubble-gum" music I'd heard on the radio, but this music was just a revelation to me. What he did that night set a course for me in terms of playing and sound. Both were outstanding! So sorry to learn of his passing.
I still have Keith’s autograph from a caravan show that came through Portsmouth, Ohio, back in the summer of 1967. Thank you for being so nice to a sixteen year old kid.
I know the guy that built this guitar . He has built replicas of Buddy Hollys guitar for Ron Wood Joe Walsh , Vince Gill, Amy Grant ,Waddy Wachtel Keith Allison and others . He is the a very gifted luthier . I played one of his builds and they are amazing .
Didn't Gary bucey buy the original Buddy Holly guitar From the proceeds he made from the movie. Didn't he have the fretboards replaced? And they took the original fretboards and put one On each of these replicas.
Here to stay Danny &the Juniors it will go down in History Rock ON🙆🎸🎹🎵🎤🎶🎷🎺🎼Just sad it was abused by freemasonry damned business (especially in England🗿)Let's hope People open their third eye now cos so many great artists passed away too young (devil's contract👿?)👽Roger Daltrey could warn :"You won't get fooled again"👥Beware!I still can hear Phyllis's tears as she was Marc Feld Bolan dear Mother🙇😿
ACTION...ACTION...ACTION !!!!! Keith has the lead off cut on disc 3 of Los Angeles Nuggets...Where The Action Is...1965-68. See him sitting by the pool and grinning as The Thirteenth Floor Elevators mime "You're Gonna Miss Me " on Where The Action Is !!!!!
Wow ..I remember him frim The Raiders .He looked like Paul McCartney a bit Not in the least now. I had no idea of the Jerry Allison connection until now
I am 59 now....but as a kid growing up in the 60s.....I loved watching Happening 68.Paul Revere and the Raiders were just miming playing I think.Kind of like the Monkees did on their show.But I always remembered Mark Lindsey had a pony tail and I thought wow....how cool.But actually Paul was the blond guy who wasn't as popular.The only song hit I can think of was Cherokee People.I remember one show....Leonard Nemoy appeared on and Paul was wearing pointed ears like Spock wore....and that was a short running gag .
Not new York ones simply or more like not Lubbock Crickets but more probably with Tommy Alsup and Waylon Jennings maybe👽😉so tired of hearing anyone call Bill shepherd Paul mc Cartney How they got fooled👥🙈🙉🙊Faul is False when there was only one authentic Buddy for sure 🙏

Great interview, packed with all sorts of cool bits of info. Loved it!
Sends chills down my spine
Gary Busey owned the original guitar at one point. There is a video him on Arsenio Hall with it. I’m sure I spelled both names wrong
You spelled the name right.
Keep up the great work Norm. This channel is top notch.

amazing, if you saw him at Home Depot you would never guess the stories he could tell !
It's great to see Keith on You Tube playing ' Out on that road " from 1969 with Paul Revere and the Raiders He's on bass.From Beat club
It so weird how so many legendary musicians just pop up at Norms.
D T norms guitar shop is awesome dude.
Garey Busey owns that guitar hes holding now,
Are any of the original Crickets still living?
J I Allison the drummer is only original member alive
I think that early Cricket Larry Welborn is still alive.
Really cool stuff!

Very cool mini documentary

The Raiders were all playing Epiphones. I think they must of had a sponsorship.
Cripes, Norm... you know so many PEOPLE!!
Cool replica of Buddys guitar
RIP Keith
Norm, is the store back together yet?
that leather is Tony Lama style.
Nice history lesson.
So then, did Keith play with, i think, David Box, was that his name? Didn't Mr Box die in a plane crash just like Buddy?
this guy didn't play with the original crickets.
He said after buddy was dead he played with them but he met buddy!
Not new York ones simply or more like not Lubbock Crickets but more probably with Tommy Alsup and Waylon Jennings maybe👽😉so tired of hearing anyone call Bill shepherd Paul mc Cartney How they got fooled👥🙈🙉🙊Faul is False when there was only one authentic Buddy for sure 🙏
He was Jerry Allison's cousin. Of course he played with those guys.
I saw Graham Nash play that very guitar on a You Tube clip.Check it out if that interests you
That leather cover has to dampen the sound of the guitar
It looks great but covering a fine wood has to be at the expense of sound and projection
Is that a communist hat?He must be a morello fan. Thumbs up.
first
no music
Waste of time when no music togo with the story
