Clarence Johnson, R.I.P.

Local bluesman Clarence Johnson was found frozen to death in his home recently...some folks have said that Clarence was a blood relative to the great Lonnie Johnson.

BB KING wrote the book.....


Get LIVE AT THE REGAL...and realize it's from the EARLY 60's......


EVERYBODY has copied the guy...EVERYBODY

[Loons The Great]

Payin' the coss to be the boss

I dig all the early B.B. King records. I am a bigger fan of his cousin, Bukka White.

To tell ya the truth-a, I'm mo' a fan of Albert King and Freddie King, but I'll dust off my cd of 'Regal' an' spin it latah on today fo' sho'!!

Nobody loves me 'xcept for my mother...an' she could be jivin',too...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

B.B. King...

I can't believe he's retired, I thought he would keep going til he dropped dead.

BTW, this months Classic Rock is a special blues-rock issue for anyone who is interested.
