And you believe a lawyer?

I still hear that Country Gentleman playing.

Aw...no. I know of a guitar that just doubled in value. I've played a guitar BB has played. So...there's that.

He treated his guitar (Lucille) like a woman:
He didn't let it drive, but he let it do the washing-up.....I don't know if he put his penis in it, though.

RIP, Mr. King of Blues.

I was fortunate enough to see him play live.

Farewell, Mr. King, the world is a better place for you having been in it.

Saw this on the news during the night at work, a sad loss.

Thanks for the music, Mr. King.

Great story teller. That man could play one note with more feeling than anyone I've ever heard. Not the most technical of players, but he told his story well and he did it with just a few notes.

I don't know what to say.

 

[Inspirinious]

He wasn't from Texas, but he was always welcomed here.

A couple of great performances from our Austin City Limits shows:

B.B. King, "Night Life," Austin City Limits 1983

B.B. King, "Stormy Monday Blues," Austin City Limits 1996​

I'm a big fan of B.B. King, but when I saw the news that he had passed away, my first thought was, "Yesssss! He's on my dead pool list.".

Does that make me a bad person?
