I love Jack Lalanne. How about Lena Horne, Tony Bennet, and, dare I say it kiddees, Mick Jagger?

B.B. King is amazing. One of several times I saw him in concert was in Atlanta on his 70th birthday. I was really impressed by how he was still able to work an audience at that age. That was almost 12 years ago and he's still at it.

It soon became apparent to Riley that if he was going to make his career in music, he would have to make the break alone. The final decision came one night in May of 1946 when Riley had returned from the fields with the tractor. He shut off the tractor, but the engine turned over a couple of extra times and the machine lunged forward, breaking off the exhaust stack. Riley, not wanting to face an angry Johnson Barrett, left town with his guitar and $2.50 in his pocket. He was heading to Memphis on highway 49 in search of his cousin Bukka White ...<<
