In June 2004, John Floridis and "Musicians' Spotlight" co-host Brian Kopper had the opportunity to talk shop with B.B. King on his tour bus. Originally aired as a two-part program, the interview highlights B.B.'s humble beginnings in Indianola, Mississippi, his early musical influences, and some pivotal moments in his life, both personal and professional.

(Broadcast: "Musicians' Spotlight," during the Monday Music Special slot on 5/18/15. Listen on Thursday evenings at 7:30, or via podcast.)
