We just saw BB King last Friday at the beautiful Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT and in November in Lowell, Mass. Both concerts were somewhat similar - but not exactly the same - in that they were about 90 minutes long, and BB King does a fair amount of talking and reminiscing to the audience between songs.

We've also been lucky enough to catch him twice over the past few years at the B.B. King Blues Club in NYC's Times Square (excellent musical venue) - front row seats both times. I guess you can say we're big BB King fans. ;-)

The man is a class act, and still has an amazingly clear and strong voice. My husband and I marvel at how this 80-year-old can still make that guitar sing...

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea I was under the waves Before love rescued me I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread Now I stand accused of the things I've said

Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town

I used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town

I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town

When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town

I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide

When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town
