Little Richard

June 8th Tonight we headed to BB Kings in Times Square to see rock 'n roll legend Little Richard. We recently watched the biopic of his life story which revealed how he was always torn between religion and `the devil's music'. He's now well into his 70's and doesn't perform too often these days. The ten piece band came on first and played some rockin' instrumentals to get the audience in the mood. Little Richard came on stage on crutches as apparently he has sciatica. Once he was seated at the piano he let it rip working through most of his old hits like `Good golly Miss Molly' `Tutti frutti' `Long tall Sally' `Rip it up' `Ready Teddy' `Slippin' and slidin' `Lucille' `The girl can't help it' and `Money honey'. The only slow number was `Directly from my heart to you' which was of course covered so well by Frank Zappa on `Weasels ripped my flesh'. He also did a tribute to Fats Domino with Blueberry Hill. He can't quite reach those high notes the way he used to but still sounded good on most of the tunes and his keyboard skills are still right up there.
