This is the only Carter Beckworth on youtube...

Yes, much of my life, I have really enjoyed Roy Head's energy and dynamic music profile. I was in the 7th grade at military school in San Marcos, Texas when he was a High Schooler starting up his band, the Traits. He was starting out when Rock N Roll was at the Big Bang stage. What I cannot forget was his curiosity that redirected him, while driving down a brand new Southwest feeder street off South Shepherd in Houston almost exactly 50 years ago. He had heard a rock n roll band practicing in a garage next to this street so he doubled back and climbed up the stairs to present himself to the 4 high school kids practicing rock n roll in that garage apartment. I had been one of those kids, and you can't imagine how awestruck we all were when ROY HEAD walked into the room smiling and complimenting us on our music, etc.! After hand shakes and smiles and gomer palpitations, we all just stood there out of our minds as he walked on out back on his way once again. We were trying to figure out the what, why, how, and all the other shocking feelings that had just entered our minds. Roy still has that energy and presence that he should be quite proud of since he has to be in his late 70's.
