Buddy Guy and BB King Still Touring

There is no retirement in the blues music world for sure, but surely at age 84 and 73 – blues guitar greats BB King and Buddy Guy could be excused for laying low and not wanting to put on so many bus miles, yet they continue to amaze with fairly full schedules.

Today we hear about these brilliant blues kings hitting Caesars Atlantic City on February 13th – a must see show for anyone who understands the influence on music these two giants have had.

Just take a look at Buddy’s travel schedule for shows over the next couple of months, whew – not sure I could keep up with this..(he’s even making his way over to Australia for some shows in March!)

All of this after a series of shows Buddy Guy has played at his own “Buddy Guy’s Legends” famous Chicago blues club.  Back in September news was released of an impending move of Buddy’s Legends club, it turns out plans are made and within the next few months he will be moving from his latest location.

I have been to Legends 4 times and always make it a point to stop there if I’m in Chicago for any length of time – it is a MUST visit no matter what night of the week.  Here’s the Legends website to keep track of things as they wind down their current location and get ready to start another.

We are so lucky to have BB and Buddy still with us, I’m hoping to catch BB later in the Fall of 2010 when he visits Ottawa and the great National Arts Center — something to look forward to for sure!
