Let’s see where do I start? I have stomped the ground BB King played in Greenwood, Mississippi for a long time. Born in 1925, BB is still on stage playing a list of dates that would make young man weary. I had not seen him in a while and I figured I better go see him before he slows down touring! All said it was a great night sitting close to one of the Rolling Stone rated top ten guitarists of all time. His band is great and it truly is a blues show when BB strolls out as his band builds the tempo.
I need to mention we did see a guy on the front row pop the question with a ring during a song break. BB smiled and proceeded to do a song for the young couple. He even threw them a rose from the stage. I think that was the first time I had ever seen that happen at a concert…
Well there is always another show on the horizon. I am hoping next time I can bring a few pictures of my own back. Rule 2, It is what it is. Camera nazis, gotta’ love ’em…
Until Next time I’ll see you, Down the Road…
“Riding with the King” John Hiatt
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 just about waist high
And I’m gonna play this thing until the day I die
Don’t you know we’re ridin’ with King
Don’t you know we’re ridin’ with King
