Outplayed Budy Guy? Thats almost hearsay! If thats the case, I certainly wish I had been there!

A couple of freinds from Seattle went to see Buddy Guy a year or two ago (the same freinds from the Minneapolis shows, since moved on to WA) and according to them, he's still rocking insane at 80+. His Sweet Tea album gets play in my car or home at least every week still.
