Saw the legend in concert a few years ago. Stated back then "that I better go" because he is not gonna be around forever. Fantastic man.
RIP Beale street Boy.

My daughter is doing a general lib course on music history ... BB King is one of the musicians to be studied. Some of the names she rattled off the other day brought back some good music memories

Heard an interview bit today about his busking days that mentioned he got kind words when singing gospel songs; money when he played the blues

Saw BB in concert here a few years back - pure class. There's a lot of stuff that falls in the "blues" genre that I don't care a lot for. BB King's work is not in that mix. He was the blues. Farewell and RIP to a legend...
