Check out Mr. Brown in the house band for this TV show.

Barbara Lynn Ozen (1966)

Fantastic clip, fantastic name.

Top notch!

Good stuff; Soul Surf followed by some good old-fashioned, real R&B. Surprising for me to see a left-handed woman wielding a Tele and belting out the blues...too bad I was only 3 years old at the time, so I missed it.

Looks like an Esquire...even cooler.

I take it the Esquire is to the Tele rather what the 4000 is to the 4001 (more or less)?

Precisely!

Very cool clip. Can't believe I never heard of her before.

My '59 345 looks just like Gatemouth Brown's. Could it be?

There is a close-up of the tuning keys at 2:54. They look to me to have a different shape. But the video quality isn't very good. Maybe yours is the one SRV once played. The Youtube clip is from the TV show "The Beat" with host Hoss Allen. DVD is available. Might offer better resolution and more clues.

The Beat

Always a great song. Nice looking Capri.

what is the title of the youtuble clip of SRV?

SRV gave his to Hubert Sumlin, if memory serves. I'm too lazy to google it, but I believe his had triangle inlays.

Not sure what model was given to Sumlin but answers.com states it was stolen from Sumlin.

He also had a Rickenbacker Stereo Prototype that he gave to blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin in late 1984, which was later stolen from Sumlin.

It was stolen from Sumlin but SRV either got it back for him or got him another one.
