As you may know by the time you read this that B.B. King passed away Thursday evening in Las Vegas around 9:40pm local time on May 14th, 2015. A combination of a small bout of insomnia & a desire to deliver a fresh show in partial tribute to this legend, I decided to work overnight to put that together.
The first or so hour is all B.B. King. The second hour is music that would have inspired B.B & almost any blues musician.
I hope you enjoy this small detour & devotion to a master.
May the Mississippi keep flowing…
The playlist is as follows:
- B.B. King
- B.B. King & Bobby Bland
- T-Bone Walker

This week’s episode is spring-like, because it is finally somewhat spring-like here in the Northeast.
So, there’s that. But, I also bring you a special version of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ blending the Original London Cast album with one of my favorite bands in The Afghan Whigs doing a few covers, too.
Whatever it is you’re celebrating – in my case, just being alive & the wide-scale availability of chocolate! – I wish you nothing but well.
