I saw a thread about Buddy Guy. I love him as I do a lot of the old and gone Gents. The Albert Collins, Magic Slims, BB Kings, of our lives, etc.

They made/make the music more than music, they also made it fun. They told comical tales mixed in with some of the best sounds ever created. Albert used to strut the aisle as Buddy does. I had mentioned how Buddy walked off side stage down the aisle, into the lower lobby, up the stairs out to the balcony seats and played to them, then back out to the upper lobby, where he then entertained the folks on line at the upstairs bar before returning downstairs and back out to the stage.

I've been in the crowd with the thousands wondering what the heck he was doing? This time the timing was there where I saw exactly what he was doing.

I figured the visual is much better just the spoken (typed) word? So here's the pic's from the lobbies that night 6/9/12 when he and Jonny Lang graced the Wellmont Theatre in NJ.

Anyone with a story and a pic or two?

Buddy and I traded licks back and forth at a show a few years back. He had a guitar though... 😛
I see he's gone wireless and isn't draggin' a 1000 ft cord behind him now! Grin
