When BB was a well know artist most of us college kids didn’t even know who Albert was. One afternoon he came and sat on one of the many steps of the University of Minnesota’s concert hall which runs the width of our outdoor mall. He just started playing his guitar and singing his blues. I don’t know how long he played and sang, but when I finally looked around I realized there were hundreds of us. I never forgot it. I doubt anyone else who just stopped, sat down, and listened ever forgot that once in a lifetime event. He’s the real deal. For me, he is the true King of the Blues. I’m teaching my 11 yr old Grand-daughter about Old School and the Blues. When I watch her and realize she gets it I feel almost overcome with the joy and Pride I feel for her.
If your trying to learn the blues albert king is one master among others and a fantastic teacher
pretty much got his lead down pact now ! glad people are still interested in the blues !!!
