When I was a boy, my dad took me to a BB King concert in our hometown (the 1993 "Jazz en Nord" blues festival in Tourcoing, North of France). I was probably one of the only kids in there. At one point, he started shaking the hands of the people close to the stage. Unfortunately, I was a meter away, on my dad's shoulders. I reached and reeeeached out my hand to the King... But it seemed like he didn't notice me... Until he stopped walking, set his eyes on me and said "YOU !"... and shook my hand :) The smile on my face must have been larger than the concert hall we were in!

I saw this live. About half the crowd left, this was after the Clapton solo set, close to midnight. Bill Murray was imploring people to not leave, best is yet to come, but they did. This was beyond incredible. What possessed Robert Randolph to do what he did.................maybe he was supposed to, but the whole thing was surreal. BB King told Clapton, Cray and Vaughn that if he had to sit they had to as well. And then they did what they did. Since so many people had left it was easy to maneuver close to the stage, the look on King's face during the song was amazing, it was like he was young again.

It's interesting in these BB King videos where he's playing with a who's-who of other established players, that he doesn't try to ego-maniacally play the "iconic-legend" card, and be the center of attention. Instead, he is always humble and respectful of their talents, and seems genuinely as happy to be on-stage with them, as they are with him.

I don't know how it's even possible, but soft rock music can make me kinda nostalgic for a world I've never been and never seen. It calms down and gives a feeling of infinity of time as if our life is not so short at all. It gives me meaning and desire to keep living through this difficult time

BB would love to hear you say that, but I know how he would react. He would be gracious and thank you humbly. He might tell its not true.

Remember yesterday is gone forever, tomorrow may never come again. Only today matters, only this moment belongs to you, keep smiling and enjoy every moment of your life. That's life, none of us will ever come out alive anyway. Don't wait any longer, eat delicious things. Go out and enjoy the sun, go swimming, tell the truth you have always kept, be crazy, be good, be weird. There is no time for anything else. Enjoy the present moment and make every moment magical. Live in the moment. Be grateful for the little things life offers you and also to the people around you. Rejoice every moment, and soon will dawn the day when everything will be better. Don't dream, live! Don't apologize, assume! Do not hesitate, go for it!
