The Death of a Legend

Sad to hear that the one and only King of the Blues has passed

R.I.P. B.B. King

yes Sad indeed... nothing like just sitting back and listening to his music and poetry.

I saw him 8 times, and they were all special

He will be missed but remembered!

Crap! The thrill is gone........

While the thrill might be gone, just think of the phrase from the old Righteous Brothers song from the 70's " If there's a Rock and Roll Heaven, ya know they've got a Hell of a band ". And think of all the current guitarist that owe their 'chops" to the King and how much he influenced and helped their careers. Gone but NEVER forgotten, that's for sure. Bet he's got all the angels in Heaven dancing and jamming by now. Thank you Riley B. King for your gifts to us all and your presence here. "Sleep in Heavenly peace..."

Saw him in concert a couple of times... the world has lost an original.

A share-cropper's son in Mississippi grew into becoming a musical icon.
A tireless showman; A trendsetter; A heart healer; A pain soother; A "Lucille" lover and a proud Black American. You shall be missed but never forgotten. Your musical sound (Blues) and lyrics will live on and on and on worldwide! B.B. King - RIP.............

Nobody leave this place without singing the blues...

R.I.P B.B. King!!!
