Morning Angela, welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the posts and have a chat with us all.
Not heard of Mississippi John Hurt before.
I was born in Leeds a long time ago. Go back often. Thanks for posting.

Class act - one of the very best. Studied the old fingerpicking blues myself. I have to use metal fingerpicks though else my fingers would get torn to shreds in no time. He makes it look so easy.

Leonard Cohen, still performing at 79

Re: Over 70 and still fabulous

Excellent. Love that song. Must admit I haven't listened to much Leonard Cohen.

Here is BB King at the Apollo in Manchester in June 2011. I went to this concert, it was fabulous. The guy can talk some though!

All members of his band were well over 70 and excellent musicians. BB King was 85.

Thank you for the welcome

Re: Over 70 and still fabulous

Hi Angela, I was at that Leonard Cohen concert.

Saw BB in 2006 when he told us it would probably be his last tour!. The other half of the show was Gary Moore who didn't reach 60.
Another BB gig
