I admit that I am more "aware" of BB King than I am a "fan" of BB King's music. That said, in March 2012, when my employer sent me to a conference in Memphis, TN, and I was able to sit in with the BB King house band, I knew it was a big deal. I still consider playing this song as the spark for the idea of playing in a band. It was a few months after playing at BB King's when Matthew, Joe, Brian Guitar, and I formed Lou's Classic Ride and began rehearsing in 830 Studios (my basement). Upon hearing the news that BB King has gone to heaven to (hopefully) jam with John Bonham, Cliff Burton, and Ronnie James Dio, I was compelled to remember playing drums in his club on Beale Street.
