You can bet I will! I listen to a lot of Willie, Hank Jr, and some old Ray Price stuff when he was singing with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. More than anything tho I listen to BB King, got hep to the B when I was 13, seen him 30 times or more before he passed. I like Bobby Blue Bland a lot too, Stevie Ray, and Buddy Guy. I like the blues. I retired 14 years back, haven't missed working one bit, not even a little. RAY

Ahhh .... a fellow blues fan! Just electric, or older acoustic also?
Since you mention BB passing, you may not have heard “The Texas Cannonball” Freddie King passed a few days ago. He was one of The Three Kings (along with Albert and BB) who were regarded as the most influential bluesmen of their time. His songs were covered many times by great players like Clapton, Beck, etc. Some of his work would be a great addition to your collection.

I'm a 4th generation San Francisco boy, I saw BB, Albert, and Freddie play at the Fillmore right around 1969, was quite a show. RAY

A great threesome to catch! You’d also like ‘Showdown!’ ... Albert King, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland

Were you still there in 1981 to catch ‘Friday Night In San Francisco’?
Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, and Paco DeLucia
AMAZING guitar players all !
