The thrill is gone..... Lucille's loneliness will be great.

We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

He used to play at P.B. Scott's back in the day (late 70s and early 80s) on a pretty regular basis. Classic!

Saw him at P.B. Scott's back in '82 and got to shake his hand after the show. That man could sure bend them guitar strings!

My first year at App was '82. Friday's were great and really anticipated because of the trips to PB Scotts and Mother Fletchers. The front row balcony seats in PB's were great. I had forgotten the BB played there. Hard to believe now that a legend of his stature made those gigs in BR. Good times.
