The Snakestretchers was an American band assembled by Danny Gatton to play a PBS documentary on WNET in New York City, hosted by Bill Graham. The original band was Roy Buchanan (lead guitar), Dick Heintze (keyboards), Michael "Pokey" Walls (drums & vocals),[1] Chuck Tilley (vocals & rhythm guitar) and Danny Gatton on bass.[2] Gatton and Walls left the group before the show was taped and teamed up at Gus N' Johns Restaurant, also in "suburban MD".
