Like some of you I am a huge Buddy Guy fan. I saw him live at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano a few years back. We had front row seats. We were so close to the stage that during his show he walked over and let the woman sitting next to me strum his guitar.

Anyway, in honor of Mother's Day, here's Buddy's explanation on why he plays a polka dot guitar:

quote:

"Before I left Louisiana in 1957, my mother, Isabell Guy, was ill and I promised her that one day I'd make it big and drive back home in a polka dot Cadillac. She never did get a chance to see me play so I got my polka dot guitar as a way of keepin' that promise to her."
