What they’re saying

“Muddy Waters and BB King, I knew 'em before they passed away, and they told me, 'Man, if you outlive me, just try to keep the blues alive.' So it just makes me feel good to see something that is letting people know a little more about it.”

— Buddy Guy (Instagram)

“[He] didn't just show up—he owned the stage from start to finish. His stage presence was magnetic, the mark of a man who has lived a lifetime in front of crowds. His guitar work was sharp, expressive, and full of soul, not at all what one might expect from someone his age…[Guy] didn't just perform—he electrified Jacobs Pavilion.”
