 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: |

 Rip 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. RC |
