We're losing them all. All these giants that started modern music & were the embodiment of the romanticised story of the kid who started with a beat-up guitar & ended up as king of the world.
Now we get thugs, gangstas & bland pop.
Thank you for all the music, BB King.
Cheers! :beers:

R.I.P. A true music giant !!! I went to see him about 10 years ago at the state fair. He was getting older so I wasn't expecting much. FANTASTIC SHOW !! He had the licks and the tone. Getting old sucks.
I only logged in to hear Kristy's take...

Kristy doesn't shit on the stuff I like. She's afraid she'll lose me.
As if I could ever get mad at her pretty alabaster-hued face. She's so silly sometimes.
Cheers! :beers:

A maximum Soul God of the Blues . He was a pure guitarist and literally every lick he played was improvised and heartfelt .
I've been playing a live CD recorded at MSG in New York City when he and Ike & Tina Turner opened for The Stones in November of 1969 . Wow !
On a sidenote - B B King played the Fox Theatre here in St. Louis late last year . Unfortunately he had to cut the show way short because he became very ill . Apparently he explained to the audience that he didn't feel well but felt obligated to play anyways . God bless him , He gave it his best shot but his failing health prevented him from playing for very long .
* The King is dead , long live the King *
Just was at his eatery on Beale st. RIP BB

A murder in a hospice? Sounds like a Columbo plot...
