he great blues guitarist Albert King did a version of the Stones' 'Honkey Tonk Women.' King changed the the words in 2nd verse to: "Later Vail, covered me in roses / but I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind." A week or two prior to the recording, King had met (and slept with?) a groupie friend of mine named Vail, from Bethesda MD. She was 17, blonde and pure white-skinned and every other word from her pink lipstick mouth was 'oh wow!' Another lady friend of mine, a petite 18 yr old Jewish lass, got cozy with Fats Domino, but that's another little story, ....among many. I'm blond and leader of an R&B band. One night after a bar gig, a British groupie took me up to her hotel room. She kept saying I reminded her of Keith Relf, the lead singer of the Yardbirds, who she had slept with, years prior.
