The three Kings

They should make a movie about them with only one scene in which they're all together.

I have no idea. I was hoping this would be about the David O. Russell film.

I randomly saw Freddie King at a sleepy bar in New Orleans. He was there with Alabama Slim and they played an awesome set. There couldn't have been more than twelve people there.

I sat and talked with them afterwards. They were the nicest dudes and very talkative.

Good times.

Not a huge fan of any of the three, but Freddie gets my vote for "Going Down" (which I only know thanks to Eastbound and Down), which is a great song.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Albert King is one of those rare few musicians who can play a flying V without looking like a schmuck. Plus his Stax-era stuff was top-quality.

I saw B.B. King do a set after a Pacers game one time. I knew who he was, and was glad to get a chance to see him, but the context was still kind of sad.
