I saw BB King live with the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Kenny Wayne Shepherd with Double Trouble opening. It was 2002. I love 2000s music.
Husband is a big fan of BB King. It started with him listening to BB playing with SRV, who is a favorite of mine. I hate that I missed getting into SRV until right about the time he died. Love hearing him do 'Tin Pan Alley'.
On a trip home from the east coast some years ago we stopped in Memphis and checked out Beale Street and BB's club there.
Oh and...  you are so bad.

I saw him in Brighton (UK) in the late 90s. Buddy Guy and Susan Tedeschi opened for him.
Talk about a bluesgasm.

I missed out on SRV live, but listen to Texas Flood and Couldn't Stand the Weather over and over. Now we're back on topic with '80s music.

At least it really is 80s music. 'Course Brian would probably say it's too country for him or that it sounds like Dueling Banjos.

I had some Buddy Guy on a Chess Records compilation. Didn't know how great he was until he changed labels. I caught Tedeschi Trucks in Dallas with Hard Working Americans (Todd Snider's Americana jam band.)

Can we at least admit that Dark Side of the Moon is at home in just about any decade since its inception.

Not to say all southern accents with acoustic guitar is country, but I spent a weekend at a folk festival: Other than the "alternative?" folk bands like the Gourds and Elephant Revival, it all sounded like Foggy Mtn. Breakdown and by Sunday morning, I was broken down.

He hurt my feelings when I posted a Leo Kottke clip by saying it sounded like Dueling Banjos.
The festival you describe would have given me a sick headache.

Leo plays familiar shapes with superb dexterity and the corpus collosum of a drummer, meaning syncopation between left and right hand is extraordinary. So damn pleasant and satisfying. Some folks don't tune to nuance. It's more about the feeling from the energy of the song.
