Heartbreak & Vine Music Festival Day 10 Blues from the Delta: Fred McDowell and Bukka White. I was privileged enough to know both of these great newsmen.
B.B. King is 84 today. Many more B.B. Many more. King doesn’t play chords or slide; instead, he bends individual strings till the notes seem to cry.
