I saw B.B. in Vegas a few years ago. He walked out onto the stage, but did his performance sitting down. He even explained why... although there was no need to explain, as far as I was concerned. Sittin' didn't affect his playin' any.

Re: BB King. That's not so unusual. For example a year or so ago, I saw my old friend Randy Bachman in concert and noticed immediately that he sits down to play on stage now as well. He's not much older than I am. If he is indeed older? I really can't remember which of us was the elder statesman amongst our peers. Hmmmm. I must be getting old too. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I stood up and played.
What was this thread about again? Oh yes! Blues guitar. The blues is a genre I love. I play blues on Strats, Tele's, LP's, and Rickenbackers. I also play acoustically on a Takamine. See, I am not prejudiced at all about which guitar to use. You can play the blues on just about anything.

G E Smith on the Black Guard Tele next to JW, usually plays a Gibson 335. Nice version of Dylans song.
