Once,
I saw him play Memphis blues in an old shoe-box.
For all those years,
I thought
the powder on his face was make-up.
Maybe I have grown cynical.
Now,
I believe that he missed his nose.

Fun!! In One of B.B’s last interviews, they asked him, Do you have any regrets? The king of the blues replied, I wish I had practiced guitar more often. Whoa!! I think all artist’s are really too self-critical. I try to keep this quote in mind, when I get down on myself. Even B.B, thought he needed to work harder!
