Enjoy!
B.B. King & Lucille When you have lyrics like… “I haven’t had a drink this evenin’ baby But I’m all lit up like a Christmas tree” & “Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas And now I’m living in paradise” How can anyone possibly have the holiday blues? B.B. is my featured music today. Enjoy. “Merry Christmas, Baby” ~ B.B. King

The concert was fantastic.Herb is such a talented jazz performer. I cannot believe he is 74!His style is so distinctive, cool, and clear. Lani’s voice was perfection and the trio of the piano, bass and drum set completed the energy. The arrangements were deep and complex grabbing and pulling you in the first bar.

“… and I just know we’ll have a good time”. No, my first name ain’t baby. It’s Pink ~ Mrs. Martini if you’re nasty. Jeez, Lady Kate, if you knew your JJ songs you would recognize the above reference to her early 80’s hit ‘Nasty’ where she says – ‘No, my first name ain’t baby. It’s Janet.
