B.B. was playing the same night at Ball State University at a show earlier in the day. we picked up Shirley and her band in our mini van and Shirley said "you all want to meet my Daddy?"ummm….YES! met him at the Hotel in town right before he headed for the venue and he asked me and my wife if we were going to his show. we said no, we had not bought tickets and it was sold out. as I was fanboying over one of my heroes B.B. said " well, you are my guests tonight, come on." we followed him to Emens Auditorium on campus and he let us sit backstage and watch the show. I also got to meet Bobby Bland who opened for him. B.B. was one of the nicest men to ever walk the planet. His daughter Shirley is one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. God Bless the King family for giving me and my wife one of the greatest nights of our life.

    My name is Andy Okus. I been playing pro sax, guitar, bass, and piano over 45 years now. I met Mr. B.B. King when I was only 14 years old in 1971 at " Pirate's World " in Hollywood Florida. He was the kindest, most humble gentleman I ever met. He treated me; a little kid who knew one blues lick on the Alto sax like I was a millionaire or something. He was such a totally selfless human being. I hung out with his sax section after the show. They we're just as kind and giving as B.B. was. I mean they treated me like I was damn Charlie Parker. We just chilled and talked about playing different saxes. The mood and the vibe of this clip is a representative of the highest and finest respect that is shown among " Real " musical artists. The horn section were actually playing the hottest of anyone up there. In closing I remember hearing an old B.B. King 45 record from 1954 when I was only 13. That record was the rawest most firey playing I've ever heard from B.B. !! This was before he ever added horns. If y'all can find any of his beginning stuff from the early 50's you're in for a real pleasant shock! God Bless B.B. King forever and ever! The REAL KING OF THE BLUES!!!!

      standing on the balcony talking to a few of us kids, we were playing ball at the park across the street and figured out who he was, I also was 14 at that time and loved music my whole life, playing for awhile but always listening to tons of different music, well just one kind really, the
      good kind. Loved your story, especially since we are the same age from the same town,
      Pirates World had great concerts back then, just as all the free concerts put on at the
      U of Miami that I could hear from my bedroom if the window was open. If I told anyone the acts the U put on there free to students (and kids that snuck in) they would think I was making it all up, but nope it was the real deal back then and Miami had lot's of great acts back then but you had to have a friend working at the record store to hear about them and get good tickets.

Saw a show with him and Buddy Guy just before he died, and he spent a lot of time talking to the crowd instead of playing. You could tell it was almost over for him, but when he was playing Lucille that night, It cut through all of the other instruments, Buddy stepped back and watched with this... contented look on his face I'll never forget, and I swear that was one of the most magical things I'd heard from a stage. My only regret is that I wasn't able to see him earlier in life during his prime.
