My Big Blues Weekend...
Hello Music Aficionados.
This past Friday, 9/4, my wonderful wife Dawn, to whom I will have been married to for a quarter century on the 15th of this month, treated me to BB King live at one of the MS Gulf Coast casinos. What a show! The old guy turns 84 the day after our anniversary and isn't in the best of health but still has IT. He spoke, sang & played for 90 minutes and I was in heaven! One more entry scratched off my bucket list. Go see him while you can! As he was walking off stage the last hand he shook was Dawn's. On Saturday I went to the last half of a blues festival in Ocean Springs, MS. There I saw, heard and met Hubert Sumlin. What a nice guy! Speaking of guys, Buddy Guy was the headliner. It was the perfect blues weekend. BB with my wife and Buddy with my friend Marcus and a couple of Cohiba Robustos while sitting outside at the blues festival.
