Happy Birthday, BB King

Danny has an excellent post to mark BB King’s 83rd birthday. As I said in this post about the Epiphone BB King Lucille, BB is one of my favourite all-time guitar players. I saw him live a couple of times, once in 1989 and once in 1993 and both nights were amazing. Sadly, he’s retired from touring outside the US, but there are plenty of live recordings available from over the years. In particular, Live at the Regal, and Live at San Quentin are very worthwhile checking out.

  1. Hey Kenny, how are you doing? I never saw BB in concert. He was in the Miami are last year, but the tickets were about 500 bucks or more. Hey, if this McCain dude gets elected, I am moving to Canada, got an extra room?!!
