On this day in 2004, I presented B.B. King with the Polar Music Prize. It was an honour to be invited to be a part of this, as B.B. King was a figure who inspired generations of musicians, from his contemporaries to the present day. The soundsource is 'Rock Me Baby' from 1964.
Also a recipient of the music prize that day was György Ligeti - the avant garde classical composer whose 'Lux Aeterna' was featured in the film '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
