The King is dead, Long Live the King

It is with great sadness that I heard the news this morning of the passing of blues legend B.B. King.

Blues Boy and Lucille were American icons in the world of American Blues.
Yes BB, The Thrill is Gone.

RIP!

Very sad to hear of his passing. Heaven will be a much better place with him playing up there now!

Only problem was my sons' was a Fender. BB gave him a hard time about the Fender in fun, but did sign it. He was truly a class act. RIP

I can't recall ever hearing one negative comment about him, and all the musicians that he played with through the years, is a testament to the love of his craft. He will be missed but never equaled.
