King made love on the stage. lt wats it heuuti ful sensitive love between him amd his guitaux lle teased it with his voice, tuunting it to reply. lle caressed it softly and it answered with sweet. almost lifelike tones. King let Lueille go where she wanted. Her high notes drew un eestutit- smile across King's face. Her quiet, tearful sounds drifted up and seemed to surround him. B. ll. began to answer, the excitement grew and they thrashed together madly. It was heuutiful. und even more important, it was honest. Other numbers were How Blue Can You Get . 'Sweet Little Angel' and lt's My Own Fault . The quality of King's performance wus consis- tent throughout, but he never became tedious. Each song provided new scope to his character. His character in return enhanced his perform ance. The fact that he had been playing one night gigs for fifteen years and is only now coming into his own, seemed to make his blues all the more personal and thus much more beautiful. r P l'ix't-twttttt' who hats t-spet'tt-ttwtl li ll litt lttllltp, l lt txt lllt'll let tlv'-tttlt llX't', lilltlXK'N lllt' ' A '- lt's at l'm't'ltttt.1lltattslalyswttlt:tru-rsttti ttttl t-spltttlt evervlittte he listens to one ul Ktttt' tt-rttttls lt seems :is il' you know hint pt-t ttttllt. lt t t feeling ol tnutuztl tttitlt-t'st:ttttlittt4 All tht- t- tlt ltlues :tml till nl the ltlut-s tslttuntl tn tht- ttt.ttt .ttnl his guitar. ll I- ll bk' richard flohtl presents the electric i I j I U vvitllclayid rea - -xi! tfiiisii , . ttcketSS45O S350 S250 BSODYT1 sam the recofdman, matl orderstomassey hall. victoria street. toronto lIt'flI! lr
