My good friend and former bandmate Billy Barnett (Street Corner Symphony, Smash band, Big Fat Love among many others) had a chance meeting with The Man back in 1980. He tells a story of finagling a jam with the legend at a local show.
Billy had been in Brooklyn, IL (The Armpit Of The Universe), hanging out at the strip clubs the night before, and was sporting a shiner received from a bouncer when he encountered BB.
Mr. King informed Billy that he enjoyed the play, and warned against such trips into dens of iniquity, and they parted ways!
Good story! RIP.
