Kingfish is amazing humble young man. His mama raised him right! .True story. . We're hanging out at 152 Beale Street waiting for an Experience Hendrix Show at the Orpeum Theater at the end of the street. We hear somebody say see ya later Fish. We get to the venue and we're taking pictures of these amazing buses painted with Jimi Hendrix album covers. Who walks up as asks if we want him to take a picture of all of us? Kingfish! We still have no idea who he is, but we know he's going to the show. We didn't know he was IN THE SHOW. at the end of the 3 hours of Jimi tunes Buddy Guy hands Kingfish a guitar and says "play it kid". Fish played Hey Joe to close the show. Oh...and he was 17 and still in High School!

He is a product of his family's understanding of talent, careful effort, supportive, and faithful ethics. He is so humble. He is a young man of solid character and integrity, wise for his age. He was a good influence on this old man. No doubt. Young Kingfish was an example of how wrong my attitude was towards the younger generations. I am a more hopeful man after a honest experience with the teenage Kingfish. It was a couple minutes that felt like a half hour. I am a grateful man. Knowledge through Music. ✌️
