Location: Midland, MI | I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old. With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold. I had a guitar hanging about waist high. And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die.

Location: Fort Worth, Texas | The one time I saw BB King, San Antonio's Majestic Theater several years ago, it was the most diverse crowd of any show I've ever been to. And a great show.
Happy B-day BB!!

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Saw him two years ago at our local casino. He had to sit down during his performance, but the audience was on its' feet. He has that effect.
May The Lord keep him with us a bit longer! |

I noticed his co-winner of this year's Polar music prize is Ligeti. I've always liked that strange piece he wrote titled Atmospheres, which was part of the musical score for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. |
