There was a newspaper article this morning about some big shows that are planned around the nation to usher in the New Year. There were the regulars listed naturally, and then there was this.
B.B. King’s Blues Club and Grill; New York–At age 85, the great-grandfather of the rock guitar will play two shows here backed by a band that includes his son Charles Jr. on rhythm guitar and daughter Ingrid on blues harp and vocals. Last New Year’s Eve, Mr. Berry invited female audience members to come up on stage and dance. Just don’t ask for an autograph. He’s been touchy about that for half a century.
At age 85 the Rock-and-Roll legend still takes the stage and makes musical memories. I find this truly remarkable, and so impressive that he gets a special notice today on CP.
New Year’s Eve
Doors Open @ 6:00PM & 10:00PM
Glad to hear he is still around! Didn’t he pass out while on stage last New Year’s Eve?
