On January 24, 2012, former B.B. King bassist, Melvin Lee Green, passed away. He was a longtime bass player for the Memphis Soul Survivors. I first met Melvin when I started going to Wild Bill's, a blues club in Memphis, TN where Melvin played for decades. I made a short documentary in 2007 on the hidden blues joint, which ultimately helped get me into NYU film school. Even though this is my early student work, I wanted to post the piece for Wild Bill's fans, family and friends of Melvin's.
