The guy is the whole blues/rock package with unbridled musical skills and an ambitious attitude. Bonamassa definitely paid attention when he was growing up, influenced and encouraged by his father, an avid music fan with, I imagine, an extensive vinyl collection for young Bonamassa to draw his ambition from.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett.
