About 10 years ago I had the privilege of getting to see BB King from the 4th row center of the Oklahoma City Civic Center. WOW--you can pick up a lot from being that close. Here are a few of my vivid memories on this day celebrating the life of a legend who passed yesterday at age 89.- He was still ROCKIN' at age 79;
- He was clearly having a good time;
- No way he "needed" the money (my story);
- He did not sing and play the guitar at the same time;
- The civic center was packed with people offering their money, time and enthusiastic cheering to let BB know we loved his mojo;
- He chose a few of his good buddies to come along for the ride and play in the band or do the warm up act--how fun does that sound?
Here is the question I have been asking since that concert--"WHAT CAN I (YOU) DO NOW TO BE ROCKIN' AT AGE 80?".
