That would rock.  I've seen BB a number of times over the years, and he never fails to entertain.

Get pictures.  smile

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Holy Blues Saturday!!!!!!!!!

Use HTML language.  You'll need an on-line picture service that will give you a web address for the picture.  I use Picasa because it's free.  There are others like Smug-Mug and Flickr and such. 

Then you put img inside square brackets the web address for the picture and then /img inside square brackets. 

[*img*] web address [*/img] without the spaces or the asterisks. 

That's supposed to work.  It's kind of an iffy sort of thing.

What a great picture and experience.  You can show that to your grandchildren.  I'm jealous.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Holy Blues Saturday!!!!!!!!!

Wow BB is looking old.

What an awesome experience Baldy!!! I think in the music industry you have to be a good guy, nobody likes an ass. Maybe for a short time, but the ones with staying power are down to earth because they know what they have.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!
