Shot Gun!
Here we are in 1965 watching The Night Train Show on Channel 5 WLAC TV from Nashville, Tennessee. The artists are Buddy and Stacy and their killer band doing a cover of Jr. Walker and The All Stars super hit, Shot Gun.
Buddy and Stacy were a great regional show band with lots of great synchronized dance moves and the band is hot, but what makes this video really interesting is that it is the first visual record of the lead guitarist, Jimi Hendrix.
Somehow, the song seems appropriate. Why don't we all sing along?
Shotgun,shoot'em for he runs now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk,now
Hey!
Put on your red dress and then go down town,now
buy yourself a shotgun now
Break it down, Babydoll, load it up baby,yeah
shoot him for he run now.
Shotgun, shoot him for he run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk,now
Hey

Wow, Micro, you gotta million of 'em.
Mike, I wanted to post Jr. Walkers and The All Stars doing this song, because, well, it's one of my favorite songs of all time and so very pertinent to our daily discusssions, but when I found this cover!
I was floored. Jimi with a process, probably 20 years old. Hotter than hot, cooler than ice cold!
Thanks for your post. You should check out a recent version of "Shotgun," by Don Byron. Killer.
