Thank you, RIP and Rock on!

Saw him play at a few places years ago in NYC. He was really happy to be on stage playing his blues.

RIP B.B. King - thanks for the good times!

I first saw him at the Fillmore West in San Francisco in the late 1960s, think it was 1968. Bill Graham had B.B. King perform along with several rock bands, and B.B. King mesmerized the crowd. He is a legend, and will be missed.

RIP- Legend-One of a kind-Truly a great- B.B. King.

Heaven's gain is our great loss.

I was introduced to B.B. King's music as a child . My father loved the Blues.

He was an avid guitar player in his spare time (also knew his way around a piano keyboard).

I can recall many occasions of listening to B.B.'s music with my dad , as he would try and explain to me just how difficult it was to literally make a guitar sing- but that B.B. made it seem almost effortless.

There won't ever be another B.B. King.

Thank you DemforBush for your post #3 link to video about B.B. and Lucille- a wonderful tribute.
