Albert King
« on: December 11, 2011, 11:32:56 PM »
Just thought I would share what I have cranked up tonight.

Feel free to pick a song.

I'll recommend this one to start.

That's really good. ("Born Under a Bad Sign")

I'm fairly certain I saw him along with Willie Dixon in the early 1970's in Milwaukee.

I read somewhere Stevie Ray Vaughn modeled his style on Albert King's.

Oddly, King outlived SRV.

They sound really good together.

I can hear a lot of different influences in Stevie Ray Vaughan's music. I wonder if he were alive today if he'd still be going strong or be washed up.

Good stuff. Can't go wrong with any of the Three Kings, Albert, B.B., or Freddie.

SRV channeled a magic that would have stayed with him.

Here is an excellent guitarist, Joe Bonamassa.
He first opened for B.B. King when he was 12 years old.

I saw his Royal Albert Hall show a while back, on TV, would have to been nice to see it live.

Here's who I hung out and drank with til 0300 last night/this morning...   >:D

I'd add a "neener neener" but you guys will hate me enough already.  :angel:

Among many other things George was house guitarist at the Apollo in the very early 1960's.

The new line-up is okay, but I remember them from way back, I was 5-6, but I grew up listening to NPR 88.5 out of DC that was all bluegrass. I saw them sometime around 81-82 at the Birchmere. Seeing as how my dad was heavy into guitar way back then and also lived in Bethesda I wonder how far back he remembers them.

My memories are from the 80s and 90s, and my Dad was a guitar guy, too. He's gotten into mandolin since then.

I may have seen them at a bluegrass festival sometime back then, but I wasn't smart enough to pay attention in those days.  :facepalm:


I've been listening to Seldom Scene and the Stanley Brothers, because the high tenor sound helps me get ready to sing the high notes in our Christmas cantata. We performed it this morning, but now I have the Seldom Scene singing "The Fields Have Turned Brown" on a continuous loop in my head, and sometimes out of my mouth.

Oh, well, at least it ain't Katy Perry.
