B.B. is The King of the Blues.

I just came back from seeing B.B. King at the House of Blues in Disneyland. Wow. Wow. The thrill sure isn't gone away from B.B.

The only negative was that the HOB is standing-room only, but that's more then compensated for the fact that it's such a small venue - maybe 500 people in the bottom area. It's perfect for the call/response nature of the blues and the acoustics were great.

Anyone who gets everyone to sing along with You Are My Sunshine is something special. He mixes it all in with stories and segues into pieces like "Nobody Loves Me But My Mother". You can also tell how proud B.B. is of his recent Presidential Medal of Freedom award ("Freedom!") which he had on his lapel.

Fantastic.
