Taj Mahal - Queen Bee - Bloody Sunday Sessions

I've seen Taj twice now. The 1stbtime was in Napa and I brought my guitar. My mom went and got the car after the show and I sat on the curb with my guitar. I didn't get to meet Taj, but one of his guys was nice enough to take it back to Taj for him to sign for me. I waited and it was a while me and my mom finally thought maybe the guy just set my guitar somewhere back there and forgot about it and I'd never see it again.....I was wrong! A while later he came back with my guitar signed by Taj and said 'sorry it took so long, he tuned it for you and then got to playing it...' I felt so honored! Now my guitar is named Queen Bee!

If I heard that pass my house, I’d be followin like it was the ice cream truck!

Found this song a few months ago and played it everyday for my wife Barbara Everone who was close to her called her Bee for short . It fit her perfectly and what I felt for her.She passed away suddenly 6 weeks ago and I still listen to it with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. Thanks Taj. It's a great song to remember her by.

Well, it's official. I've watched this 17 times.

3 dudes completely locked in. They don’t even gotta look at each other timing and groove is flawless

Speed limit says 20 but these guys just went and broke the sound barrier. Of great blues.

I ran into him as a kid (12 yo)in a coffee shop in occidental one time he was just sitting in the back quietly playing and I had a harp and was trying to play to what he was playing across the shop. He noticed and motioned me to come over and sit and play with him. One of my fondest memories from as a kid learning to plat the blues harp. He was so kind and patient.

I've known Taj since I was a little girl. He would come into my parents music shop whenever he was in the bay area. He is one of the nicest people I've ever known.

If you happen to be walking down the street and see this, step the hell aside- You're in the presence of royalty.

I met Taj Mahal in Geneva, Switzerland around 1980. Incredible human being. Called his musicians to surround me shouting the names of small towns in my home country of Rwanda, Central Africa, they went to play the blues in during a tour sponsored by the American Cultural Center there. So warm, so friendly, so attached to our common African roots. One of my unforgettable encounters on planet Earth. 😊

That was 5 minutes 41 seconds of my life,,, Well Spent!

Quite possibly the coolest musician on the planet.

I believe that Taj Mahal saved my life at least 2 dozen times over the last 40 years. An American prince.

He plays so perfectly. It's just enough, no flashy 64th notes, only the right notes at the right times to make the groove work. And in it's rough edged sound, it is absolutely perfect. Within one bar, you can tell it's Taj Mahal without even looking at the screen. Rock me to my soul!

That was beautiful. I feel better now

Hands down my favorite version of the song. Wish I would have been walking the streets when it was filmed, or even been the driver of the carriage.

I play Taj on the jukebox whenever I can. Words can’t describe the way his music makes me feel. I’m always hoping his music touches others like it does for me.

I looked him up because I watched Dating around on Netflix

A friend of mine appears in the video. He has recently passed, this video is the best tribute imaginable to my old friend Billy.
