I worked promoting concerts at Ole Miss in 70s
We had BB play the chapel for a weeknight
He recorded it for an album
An intimate place it sold out
A real class gentleman.....very happy to be in his home state sharing his music with mostly a bunch of white kids
Jim Dickinson and Bobby Whitlock and Coon Elder all showed up and joined in
He basically did a meet and greet with everyone there.....now that is rare trust Me
I think all he insisted on was cold Coke in bottle and a fan....it’s an antebellum hall
My dad years later flew him around the state in dads Duke to shows BB did for a gubernatorial candidate who was a law partner of dads best buddy in Jackson
My dad spent two days with BB and found him a remarkable down to earth man....old school delta
Indianola is gonna lose another great King.....Albert....my favorite went first
Our delta bluesmen in my home state might be our greatest legacy....they can sure compete with E and old Bedford
Do you know the name of the record?
