Anybody see the Blue at the White House special on PBS tonight? (I know this is just for US members of this list)

Pretty cool! BB King, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedschi, Warren Haynes, Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger, Trombone Shorty, Shemekia Copeland, Keb Mo, Gary Clark, Jr., and Jeff Beck.

Great to see a President that likes the Blues!

I knew it was coming...I had seen the vids of the Prez singing...and I still forgot about it (yet another reason for those, 'Am I too old...' threads. :( Fortunately, my local PBS is repeating it at 4am tomorrow morning so I now have the DVR set.

Thanks for the reminder...

Only Buddy Guy would keep it up until the President sang!

The President must have felt so awkward. I like how he kept trying to give the mic back but nobody would take it from him :D
