A Bug style one man band tribute to BB king. Rockhill 4 string cbg, foot drums and singing... (Live recording with lots of badly played bum notes as an overdub...)It makes you appreciate how good he was and how not so good I am..

  • Thanks Jim and James

    There's a feeling that comes from those cotton field that can't be learnt.

    If you ask me playing a guitar was the only exit card in those days and, many of the greats trace back to those fields. I recommend reading "whats the use of walking if there is a freight train going your way" by Paul Garon

    To get the vibe ..but the Blues = Money & Hope, for so many.

  • Riley Ben King was born on September 16, 1925, on a cotton plantation called Berclair, near the town of Itta Bena, Mississippi

    BB quote

    "When I sing, I play in my mind; the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing Lucille." (his guitar)

    King used a Lab Series L5 2×12" combo amplifier and had been using this amplifier for a long time. It was made by Norlin Industries for Gibson in the 1970s and 1980s.  The L5 has an onboard compressor, parametric equalization, and four inputs. King also used a Fender Twin Reverb

  • Good job, Bug.  Do you know where BB came from?  As a youngster, he went by Blues Boy.
