    If you discount the other three mentions, then technically, I suppose you're right!

    Been watching him for years. Always a good night with 'Stan the Man' and a nice bloke to speak to.

    King(Freddie) toured with Stan Webb and announced on stage; "You have a rare talent, don't ever think about stopping"

    He's also played with Peter Green and I'm going to see both of them next month!! 8) :lol:

    Anyone mentioned Luther Allison yet? He of Little Red Rooster fame.
    Also in 1957 he formed a band called The Rolling Stones. Didn't like the name and changed it to The Four Jivers. Names like Rolling Stones just never seem to work out.
