Allan Davie - Blues Theme

Blues Theme

ce low-budget biker-movie instrumental from the kings of the low-budget
biker-movie instrumental, Davie Allan and the Arrows.  My parents bought me
a Gibson Maestro fuzztone for my 15th birthday - a decision they probably
still regret - and I played this particular tune incessantly:


                             "Blues' Theme"
                              (Mike Curb)

Intro:

  [motorcycles and unaccompanied fuzz guitar]
