For Christmas 2017, I'm releasing a new / old B.B. King soundboard from the famous Shaboo Inn in Connecticut.

I have a handful of BB soundboards from this venue that I obtained back in 1999. I recently tracked down the same collector and

had the 1st gens digitized by that person and had the cd's sent to me.

There really isn't very many recordings from 1976 in circulation, so I know how special this particular recording is.

At the end of the last track the stage announcer says "BB and the band will be back after an intermission folks, we'd like ya'll to stick around."

"Coming this fri & Sat is Roger McGuinn "just off the Bob Dylan tour" (Aug 13 & 14, 1976)

"Then the following weekend on the 20th and 21st is Muddy Waters. "Just celebrated his 63rd Birthday" (Aug 20 & 21, 1976)

Enjoy this newly released BB show and let's hope 2018 will be better for everyone.

All I want for Christmas is a new President, not a Billionaire TV actor gone Rogue.
