A couple of Freddie King related things:

Speaking of ex-Bluesbreakers AND Fleetwood Mac guitarists, the last time I saw Rick Vito in concert, he opened his set with "San-Ho-Zay".

A couple of months ago, I saw Leon Russell at a small club in northern San Diego County...his guitarist (Chris Simmons...who if anyone is a blues afficianado should check out....he's REALLY good) was playing Freddie King's old red Gibson ES-345 (which Freddie is pictured with on his Gettin' Ready album cover) which Freddie had given to Leon just before his passing.

That A Hard Road album recording of "The Stumble", to my ears, is about as close as Peter Green ever got to sounding just like Eric Clapton.
