	ROBBIE MEETS JIMMIE VAUGHAN AT BB KING'S BLUES CLUB NEW YORK Monday, july 14, 2008 Robbie our former bass player met the great Jimmie Vaughan at a show at BB Kings Bluesclub, New York. 'Yeah!, I know the Kingsnakes from YouTube!' Unfortunately Robbie can't be there october 11 in Rossum because he's on a short vacation in 'down under' Australia with his lovely wife. Jimmie Vaughan is far more than just one of the greatest and most respected guitarists in the world of popular music. As Guitar Player Magazine notes, "He is a virtual deity - a living legend." After all, Vaughan provides a vital link between contemporary music and its proud heritage, as well as being a longtime avatar of retro cool.
