Summary
Working in network radio in the early 2000s was a nonstop rollercoaster — long , unpredictable hours , the constant pressure of a 24/7 operation , and a news cycle that could reshape your entire life in an instant . But on the flip side , it also meant crossing paths with the biggest names in music, movies, and television as they moved through studios to appear on stations across the country . This is one of those moments. It’s the story of my brush with greatness —the time I almost backed into B.B. King , who happened to be moving between studios holding his guitar, Lucille . What happened next was a split second interaction that I’ll never forget , and a reminder that legends don’t just exist on stage —they carry themselves that way in real life, too . B.B. King has always been a musical icon to me, but on this day in 2000 , he became something more: a living legend , right in front of me . And Lucille was every bit as glorious in person as you could ever imagine . 🎙️ LEARN MORE 🎵 Hear the Playlists / Browse the Catalog: https://myweeklymixtape.com 💬 Join the Mixtaper Community (Patreon): https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape 🌐 Connect on Social: https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media 📧 Email the Show / Contact: https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact 👕 Shop MWM Gear: https://myweeklymixtape-shop.fourthwall.com/
