Bo playing on TV back in his prime. I dig one of the classic set of three backup singers playing guitar and still doing the full backup singer dance routine.

I love the Quicksilver Messenger Service "Who do you love?" covers on their Happy Trails album.

Bum Ba-Bum Bum-Bum Ba-Bum BUM!

Grew up listening to my Dad play that record. He wore it down by the time the CD version came out. I have my own vinyl copy now, and I have it mostly worn down now, too.

Sad, another blues guitarist dies. Seems like BB King is going to be one of the last. 🙁
