So Jon Tiven & I were in the studio waiting for Mr King to show up-He came in, sharp as a tack; jacket & tie! I was in a denim shirt(no tie)
Mr. King looked me up & down & quipped "I KNOW we didn't come here for VACATION". I believe I shrank down into my shoes SCHOOLED...
By the the 3rd take, Mr King's jacket was off, his tie was loosened, and we had a GREAT session! He played & sang MAGNIFICENTLY. INCREDIBLE!
To put that story in context, #BBKing was the FIRST Black man I saw play electric guitar on TV (Ed Sullivan)- an INDELIBLE IMPRESSION ON ME.
