(AP) ? Mick Jagger, B.B. King and Jeff Beck are teaming up with musical up-and-comers at the White House to celebrate the blues.

Jagger tweeted that President Barack Obama popped in during a rehearsal for Tuesday's A-list concert and "seemed really relaxed and happy!"

Grammy-winner Keb Mo, for his part, joked during a break in Tuesday morning's rehearsal that Obama himself would be performing three numbers, and there could even be a record in the works. Mo joked that Obama's record would be called, "After the second term, now I can finally get my groove on."

The lineup for Tuesday's concert spans generations, from legends like King and Buddy Guy to young faces such as 26-year-old Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews and Gary Clark Jr., whose style blends hip hop, contemporary soul and indie rock.

Andrews said he got a chill just hearing King play a few notes during rehearsal. He added that he was hoping to learn something ? and maybe even borrow a few moves ? from the veterans in the group.

Even in rehearsal, Andrews said, Jagger, the longtime Rolling Stones frontman, "was in character right away like he was playing in a stadium ? all of the moves and things. I'm like, I'm going to steal some of those."

At an afternoon blues workshop for middle school and high school students visiting the White House, first lady Michelle Obama declared, "Today, we've got the blues ? but in a very good way."

She called the blues an "art form that stirs our souls, and it helps us rise above all our struggles."

The students got a preview of what awaited the president and Mrs. Obama, and TV viewers: Mo, Andrews and singer Shemekia Copeland performed a trio of numbers that got the students up out of their seats and clapping and singing along.

Also set to perform in the evening concert were Warren Haynes, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, with actress Taraji P. Henson as the program host and Booker T. Jones as music director and band leader.

The blues concert will be part of the "In Performance at the White House" series that airs on PBS. This one, designed to recognize Black History Month, will be broadcast on Feb. 27 on PBS stations and aired later on American Forces Network.

Rivera evasive about retirement

Mariano Rivera was asked this morning if this will be his final season and the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer gave an interesting answer: ?I know now, but I don?t have to tell you.?

Different reporters had different takes on exactly what that implied, but Marc Carig of the Newark Star Ledger thinks Rivera was hinting at retirement. Carig wrote: ?He wouldn?t say it straight out but Mariano Rivera sounded like a man at the start of a farewell tour.?

If true that would be pretty huge news and, while Rivera might think he can dance around the topic for now, it?s tough to imagine the constant spotlight of the New York media won?t eventually get him to address it further.

Rivera has yet to experience a decline in his performance, saving 44 games with a 1.91 ERA and 60/8 K/BB ratio in 61 innings last season. It was the eighth time in the past nine years that he?s posted a sub-2.00 ERA and the 7.5-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio was the second-best of his entire career.

I?m about as far from a Yankees fan as someone can be, but selfishly I?d sure love to see Rivera keep pitching until he at least ceases being amazingly dominant. Which, knowing him, might be 2017 or so.

Year after trade, Melo's time as Knick falls short

(AP) ? Carmelo Anthony briefly had what now belongs to Jeremy Lin.

Madison Square Garden shook when he was announced. Fans lined up to buy his jerseys, chanted his name, delighted in having the New York native back in the city.

The happy homecoming hasn't lasted.

The Knicks are a sub.-500 team in the year since Anthony's celebrated trade from Denver, and the New York Post even wrote Tuesday that the Knicks should try dealing him to the Lakers for Paul Gasol.

Still popular, Anthony is no longer beloved. Fans appreciate his talents but question whether they translate to victories, fearing he'd mess things up once he came back from injury to play with Lin.

Sure enough, the Knicks lost Monday to New Jersey in Anthony's return, continuing his frustrating season.
