OT: The Thrill is Gone. BB King has passed away.
|
but the thrill of hearing his music lives on.
|
Sad day.....
|
Around 1970 B.B. King was scheduled to make an appearance at a record store in Boston's Kenmore Square. My friend and I went over there hoping to at least see him. Sure enough he walked in the store and right up to us. We had a chance to shake his hand and say hello. That was a thrill. He was a guitar virtuoso and will surely be missed.

He should be buried with Lucille.:eek:

I saw him in 1969 along with the Airplane and the Who at Tanglewood. Nearly 50 years later I may forget who I am at times - but the sounds of that night are still with me.

BB King was not the fastest playing guitarist, but every note he played counted and had a purpose.
Almost anyone can play fast, but very few can play slow. Rest in peace Blues Boy King. |
A national treasure. Had the privilege of watching him play several times, first time in 1970 or so, then in recent years taking my kids to see him.
RIP |
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform on multiple occasions and each one was a treat. Still toured quite a bit until recently. Amazing musician
|
One of the greats. Saw him in DC maybe 20 years ago. He will be missed.
|
Saw him in Dayton a few years ago along with Joe Bonamassa, great experience. He talked more than he played but it was a fantastic evening.
