2B ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT/The Charlotte Post Thursday, Septembers, 1996 Buddy Guy stays real Continued from 1B that,” Guy said, who, ironical ly, is the only black act on the House of Blues tour. “If I look out in an audience and see 20 black people I shout. “It didn’t use to be like that,” he said. “Before the 60s, we were 99 percent black audi ences. After the riots and Dr. King, I don’t know what hap pened. If not for the white peo ple, I’d probably be driving the Cover To Cover Book offers bus or something.” But he isn’t driving a bus. He’s driving audiences crazy with his phenomenal playing ability. He’s been doing that since the ‘60s when he first started as a session player for the legendary Chess Records. His fame quickly spread. For two decades his fiery live per formances inspired countless rising guitarists such as the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Cray and yes, Clapton and Raitt. Ask Guy who his main inspi ration was and he becomes reverent when he mentions the name of Riley “B.B.” King. “Every time I see him he asks me to play. I tell him I can’t learn anything if I’m playing,” he said. “When he plays, I listen. I think every guitar being made should have a B on it. He put the tone in guitar strings.” So, is life beginning at 60 for Guy? No. It’s never stopped. “There have been more downs than ups, but I was too stupid to give it up,” Guy said. “It’s like being a prize fighter. You’ll never know who you will knock out if you don’t step into the ring. “ positive view Continued from 1B THE CHARLOTTE POST CAR GUIDE IS COMING IN OCTOBER Europeans. No one escapes scrutiny, whether it be the Africans themselves for their role in the slave trade or their invaders. Not a book for the faint hearted, Segu is complex, rela tively long at almost 500 pages, but well written. It pro vides a great introduction to Eastern African culture, mythology, history and reli gion. “Segu” is well worth a trip to the bookstore and a pleasure to read. Parts of it do drag. Occasionally the attention to detail and the number of foot notes do slow down the action, but Bray and Conde anticipate these points and have made an effort to make definitions and footnotes short and to the point. And, for readers now to African literature, the atten tion to detail is appreciated. If you are looking for more African authors to peruse, check out “The Beggars Strike,” by Aminata Fall from Longman African Classics, “The Collector of Treasures,” by South African exile Bessie Head, from Heinemann and “’The Dark Child” by Camara Laye. mm WBA HEy^Nv-'YWEIGI-rr CHAAAPIOMSHIP LIVE OM RAV PER VIEW SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Z ISF Wilterwiifiit (lismptoosliip FELIK TIIMIIAB IIY lllllTI K WEt/IStlSt lb.
