My wife comes walking through the room and the news is just telling us that B.B. has passed. She up and says " I saw him play live once". Whoa! What? Where the hell was I!!!:confused5: I had no idea. Turns out on a biz trip she went out with other co-workers and B.B. just shows up at some place and plays a show. Then on another trip, she is in Chicago and ends up at Buddy Guys spot. Yep, He shows up that night and plays. Lastly, I took her to see Clapton as a surprise when he was in town one year. She has seen 3 of the greatest ever live and none of it was planned. She loves music but Blues isn't something she listened to regularly.
