Music and more

I am a Blues fan, here are a few links and sound samples of the kind of music I enjoy and a few links to my favorite music web sites. By the way, I also like other varieties of music including Rock, Country, Gospel, and  R & B, but it's blues I like the most. Music stimulates the soul, I cannot imagine a world without music. I thank God for this pleasure.
 

Sound Samples

Below are a few samples of my some of my favorite sounds. They are in wav format and because so, the sound quality is compromised. Click on them, It will take a minute or two for the files to load up into your media player then you can enjoy them. Most wav files have a sound quality that is similar to a phone answering machine or a drive through restaurant's order speaker. If you want to hear good quality sounds on the net then see the info about Real Player and check out my links to web sites that support Real Player.

Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of the blues great, BB King.  The top picture is BB with another great , Pope John Paul II. Unfortunately the quality of the picture is poor, it was clipped from The Tidings, Los Angeles Archdiocese's weekly  publication. BB is actually giving Lucille to the Pontiff and his Holiness graciously accepts. I'll bet guitar mass at the vatican is quite an improvement now.
 
BB offers the Holy See his guitar Lucille
The other photo is a picture of BB posing with an obvious excited blues fan in awe.
