Also true of Louis Armstrong. While he remains one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century, it is not easy to find an extended solo.I always thought he should have played more and sang less.
I saw BB in a theater in Oakland about 1968. BB was very much a band leader and singer more than a guitarist. Irv Ashby, who had played with Lionel Hampton and Nat king Cole's bands, was with BB that night and BB played his usual fills.I always thought he should have played more and sang less.
