Donald Roeser, aka Buck Dharma, and his band Blue Oyster Cult, came out of New York and built a huge, loyal "cult"l following while having several long lasting hits as well.
Roeser does not "look" like a guitar slinger, but IMO, he is one of the most innovative guitarists and songwriters I know, and his work even now gets my attention...if I still had hair, his sound would make it stand up...and not many guitarists have ever done that for me. These 3 videos are from the I Heart Radio Theatre in December, 2012. The band continues with the same members and is touring again this year.

Roeser's playing is so effortless and fluid, and his melodic lines are like no one else's. He is an amazing guitarist, and it's a pleasure to watch him play live.
Keep going, old fellow!
