Ben E. King passed, too? I did not know that. heck I likely thought he was gone. Yeah, we take this
pretty hard in Memphis, but we also raise em up, too. We do songwriter nights in a little juke joint I co-own
and all our B.B. prints are cornered with a black strip for now. Percy just went up on the wall, too. I was going
to print Percy a week before he died, and said NAH, went with Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed. But boy did
I find out later how poor a choice that was. On the night pictured below, we had a band made up of high school
kids and we let em throw an all ages show inside. This is a band from Chattanooga that opened up for em.
