Lucille woke up very lonely this morning. Goodbye, B.B. We'll miss you.

Fortunate to have seen him play, and to meet him briefly after the gig...A true star.. The thrill has gone...RIP

R.I.P. B.B. King


So glad I saw you play at your club in NY about late 90's.

The Thrill has truly gone.

Such sad news. He was a unique musician and I am sure a nice person too. I have seen him twice and eventhough he was already over eighty, I feel very lucky I had a chance to see him. He brought joy to millions and will be remembered fondly. My
step-grandfather, who was BB's big fan and one year younger than BB passed away three days ago. He has never seen BB live, so I hope they are both somewhere where they can meet.

I'm sure they will both meet up.

RIP

RIP B.B.

RIP BB. A well earned rest you most surely deserve. The host on my local talk radio station was using all BB King music as bumper music this morning. One of his comments: "I'm so glad that someone invented the recording process so we can continue to listen to and hear BB play." Another comment (while music was playing): "Did you hear that bend? The way he bent that note?!? You don't have to be able to speak that language to understand what it's saying."

Play on BB:









Peace,
Mr DJA

RIP---To one of the Greatest!
He did what he loved. What a LIFE.

R.I.P. B.B.KING gave us good music and played as long as he could,his music will live on forever.

I saw B.B. and Muddy within a couple of months of one another in the same small club in the early 1980s. I preferred Muddy.

B B King

I saw him open for the Stones in 1969.
BB King was an old-timer that I didn't really know much about. He was 43 then. I was 12, the Stones were in their 20s...

very sad to here of the loss of B.B. King, one of the best, I got to see him a few times.

Great talent, kind guy. Always came across as a humble man.

how blue can you get.

He had a long, great life and brought joy and inspiration to countless people. My first live exposure to him was at this show (check out the prices):

Descansa en paz B.B. King!!

rest in peace B.B. King

RIP Three O'Clock Blues Boy

RIP big guy - saw you in Boca Raton, Fl on your 80th birthday tour...

So glad to have seen him when he opened for the Stones in '69. Not only loved his playing but I also loved his gritty "made-for-the-blues" voice.

RIP Mr. King.

he 'da man

I never met B.B. King but I know that he was a good man.

In the fall of 1968 my friend Jimi Hendrix invited me to drop by the TTG
recording studio in Hollywood. He was on a tight schedule to finish recording
and he had tears in his eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"You know how everybody steals my stuff," he said grimly. "Now someone who is probably one of my so-called friends has stolen something that really mattered
to me. A few weeks ago, B.B. King, who I was meeting for the first time, brought me a guitar he thought I might like. I felt so honored; He said, "Boy,
you are really doing something for the guitar."

He shook his head. "I had in mind that I needed to come up with a song just for him on that guitar." Jimi wandered around the studio, didn't get much done, went outside. A few minutes later, he came in, picked up a guitar, walked into the studio and played the living hell out of "Red House Blues."

"That was amazing," I said quietly."For B.B..."

"Yeah...for B.B." Casually, he added "and for you."

I would like to believe that somewhere "up there," the great and kind B.B. King
and Jimi are having a very happy time playing their guitars.

Wow stonesrule, amazing story. Thanks for sharing.
