Today is B. B. King's birthday

Non-Beer Discussion by BLUESANDBARBQ

Give it up to the King of the Blues. 83 today. Still impressive. It should be a holiday. It is with me personally - will be jamming all day. It will be a sad day when B. B. passes.

Wow................he's older than I am. I saw B.B. in Chicago in the early 60s with the late great Perry Como. An excellent show.

Combining a couple of forum threads, I sought advice from Mr. Riley B. King regarding the poorly disquised McCain/Palin ambition to continue the disaterous Bush legacy (songs from B.B.'s new "One Kind Favor"): "I get so Weary" "How Many More Years" "World Gone Wrong" "Get These Blues Off Me" Enough said.

Mr. King is 86 years young today. Every day that we still have his Blues presence is a bonus. Celebrate. [img]http://blog.nj.com/entertainment_impact_music/2009/02/large_PEOPLE_KING.JPG[/img]
