BB King - Memphis, TN - Jef Nance

Shot this during a recent show at BB's club on Beale Street, Memphis. Riley B. Davis started out on Beale St., adopting the name 'Beale Street Blues Boy' then 'Blues Boy King' then shortened that to 'BB King'. "Just get right to the point" he figured. Something like that, anyway.

BB King's Blues Club in Memphis is the best place to see BB play--he's one of the very last of the 50's era bluesmen, so it's a real treat to see him pickin' in this little bar that holds about, what, 200 people?

That place is warm in the Wintertime, and cool all year 'round. Hey, you can imagine the rest...
