@LaLumieri BB was the one who gave me hope I could be a guitar player .
All the other guitar players in my family have long skinny fingers ,but mine are short .
So I was told I would never be good on guitar or keyboards ,
Well I had a professional career as a musician ,
my cousins play for local events ,small clubs
but I make more in tips then they ever made playing gigs ,
One of my cousins who played one club 15 yrs straight ,he and his wife came to one of my concerts ,He was bragging he taught me to play guitar to everyone after ,,he did teach me 3 cords ,his wife accompanied him on a B3 Hammond organ and she had a drum machine ,she was the star ,
She and I still jam together when I get home ,He has since passed away ,she encouraged me to "give it hell" the rest only tried to discourage me .
But it was BB's big fingers that said to me "You can do this"
BB is the god of blues .or one of them ,my inspiration.
Loved this song too ,sounded a lot like BB

@rckt148 thank you for sharing that with me and I believe that if you have the passion for the music you'll give it hell when you're up there playing I have a very high respect for musicians and I did see this guy actually play at a Blues Festival I agree he's a lot like BB I picked this particular version because it's not often you see someone so young appreciate this kind of music I felt him play the very strings of my soul
