I saaw BB perform a few years ago at his club in NYC. He was still outstanding, and he gave us more than our money's worth -- he must have played for three hours. He also used his American flag guitar strap and made some patriotic remarks that made some in the lefty crowd uncomfortable, so I admired him even more. Bless his soul.

The state House and Senate declared Tuesday to be B.B. King Day. Do we get the day off work? Congrats BB King.

I have seen a lot of musicians live who were a sort of disappointment. BB King is the only musician I saw live and who was as good or better than his recordings. His band is outstanding and he is the MOST!

Glad to see B.B. getting some well deserved recognition. So many of the blues greats have gone, (John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Luther Allison, Stevie Ray Vaughn), that it makes me happy that B.B. is not only still around, but that he is appreciated.
Thanks for a very nice post.
Best Regards
Sergio

Man, I love listening to BB King. 'Specially at about 3 am on a hot, rainy night. Something about it...

Couldn't happen to a finer gentleman IMO. I saw him in concerts about 12 years ago and he was awesome, as was his band.

How do the "racial arsonists" respond to this beautiful statement by a G-d fearing man, moved by the progress made in our country over the years?
This is a good man who appreciates how far we've come instead of whining how far we still have to go.And in so doing, he doesn't incite anger against our institutions, but gratitude toward them. G-d bless him.

BB's touring schedule has been pretty unbelievable for the past 10-15 years, considering that he is pretty old and that he was diagnosed with diabetes some years back.

I used to love to hear his music. Even admired him until I saw a documentary about his life. When he started bragging about how many fatherless children he'd left around the country, that was it. He then was added to my "do not support" list.

I'll bet the Democrat Klan members in Mississippi are upset that the Republican leadership honored him at the state capitol. That certainly didn't happen when the democrats were in power.

Bump for a great musician and a true class act.
If you've never seen the man perform, pick up a copy of "Live at the Regal" or "Live and Well" and you'll get a slight idea of what it's like.
