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