WHO: Five-time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Buddy Guy has had another busy year. While he spent the majority of 2009 on the road, Mr. Guy has also been busy making sure his new club's construction has been going well. "I'm working hard to keep the blues in Chicago, in the South Loop. I'm also working hard with the architects to make sure the new club looks as much as this one as possible." Mr. Guy recently performed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary concert in Madison Square Garden with Jeff Beck who said that Mr. Guy "inspired me so much in 1962 that I never got over it" before kneeling respectfully at his feet.
