OMG, OMG, OMG!!! I just got tickets to see BB King on March 15!

"I'm so excited,
And I just can't hide it!"

Anyone else planning to see the 80th Birthday Celebration Tour as it comes around?

He was here two years in a row, the last a couple of years ago. I took my teenage son both times, and we had a ball.

Let's see, the concert is still a few months before that wedding....maybe you could work some of BB's tunes into your repertoire! :D

My brother turned me on to BB (and Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, Otis Spann and many more) when I was about 12 years old, and now finally 30+ years later I'm going to see him. My brother "crossed over to the other side" many years ago, but you can bet he'll be listening too. 8)

I have the BB King/Clapton CD on right now--is it sweet!

Are you calling BB King a Yahoo, Rahul?
And, anyway, I know he's not Jo King, he's Riley King. :lol:

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Hey Margaret,

Have a good time at the B.B. King concert, it should be a blast! *jealous!* I didn't know he was playing anywhere around us, where's the gig? (Yes, I guess I live a sheltered life! :roll: )

BB is playing at the Overture Center in Madison the evening of March 15. I hadn't heard about it either, but picked up a copy of the Isthmus at Ward Brodt on Sun. and just happened to see it in there. Got online & ordered tix on Mon., and they arrived in my mail already on Tues.!

When I heard that BB King would be doing an 80th b'day celebration tour, I resolved to see him if at all possible. After all, opportunities may be running out. So I felt lucky to have seen the ad in Isthmus, or my opportunity might've slipped past.

YES! He must be heartbroken! As the owner of several pets, I know how horrible that must be.
