B.B. KING was born Riley B. King on September 16, 1925 near the small town of Itta Bena, Mississippi — though he always referred to the nearby Indianola as his home town.

Take a load off, FANNY! This design features the famed lyrics "Catch a Cannonball" from the band's 1968 classic song, "The Weight". The members of The Band are taking off like a rocket -- an homage to a Sunset Strip billboard that promoted the group's album release. 

Catch a cannonball, now
To take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low
And I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny
You know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her
Regards for everyone
