What kind of music you hear while you trade?

On this day, in 2015, BB King left us.........

The late & great B B King, yes.

I had the L A Midnight album on vinyl and played it to pieces lol. Joe Walsh & Jesse Ed Davis on accompanying guitar on this track.

And Red Callender on tuba. (Red played on his first ever recording at 19 years of age with Louis Armstrong's band back in 1935)


1972. B B King - Lucille's Granny

Anyone around my age?

Music spans all ages

I saw BB many years ago in Auckland....before the days when he needed a chair on stage. He came across as a genuinely nice guy and he put on a great show.

And you're right in your comment about Steve Winwood at the 2007 Crossroads concert. In fact all those crossroads gigs are great...and that's where I first came across Robert Randolph and Family Band

That would've been great RJ, I never got to see BB play live.

And I'd not heard of Robert Randolph Band, wow innovative pedal steel work. Very interesting, cheers.

The history of music lead us to where we are with music today.

I'm just about done with the 50's, it WAS so long ago lol. But it was a time when younger musicians stood up and had a go, nothing fancy, just musical expression.

One such artist was Lloyd Price. He was just 17 years of age when he wrote & cut Lawdy Miss Clawdy.

Fats Domino ended doing the backing piano, and Lloyd said in an interview he never heard the final cut until it was played one day on the radio. He asked himself "is that me" lol. Went on to be a hit, not quite the 1st rock n roll song, but historical none the less.

Old, but close to the end of my recollections lol.


1952. Lloyd Price - Lawdy Miss Clawdy

This song is dedicated to all jackie chan fans!!! hope you enjoy
