Love the Fremont Ramble (I’ve always been a blues boy)

So have I. Ever since I was fourteen years old and got the bite from having seen B.B. King live on a summer camp trip. (He was opening for the Who and Jefferson Airplane, about a fortnight before Woodstock, at Tanglewood. Three notes out of B.B. King and I didn't want to know from the others, and I'd been hot to go to that show because I was a big fan of the Who . . .)

Thank you for the kind words!

When I was a kid I lived about 60 miles from SF and I had a little transistor radio that I would put under the covers and listen to late at night when I was supposed to be asleep. Rock and roll was king, but one of the stations I picked up after dark was KDIA from Oakland, a black owned rhythm and blues AM station. When my friends were listening to Brenda Lee, Trini Lopez and the Four Seasons, I was tuning in to Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley and Lightnin' Hopkins. Presentations were a little rougher then but it went to my blood. Evolution has brought us around to sweet stuff like this one with Buddy and BB that I've seen dozens of times and it still makes me shiver, tear up and smile all at once.
