“My earliest musical influence, other than Top of The Pops (the British TV show), was the blues that I attempted to play on my guitar to accompany my records. B.B. King was one of my favourites, and this show also had John Lee Hooker and Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland all on the same bill. I was in heaven. I remember actually crying with happiness at being in B.B.’s presence. His love for the audience, music and his guitar named Lucille was irresistible.”David Corio
