BB King is Gone at the Age of 89

[SeaBreeze]

I saw him back in the 60s performing in person, great show. Goodbye to a great blues singer, rest peacefully.

The thrill is gone . . . we are gonna miss him. . .:dispirited:

Good bye, BB! We will miss you.

Too bad. He sure could twang that guitar. RIP

I must have seen B.B. maybe ten times. One of my favorite Blues players and singers. He named his guitar Lucille. A very interesting story behind that name.

B.B. put on a great show and often had other great Blues players as his guests.

RIP, B.B.

I'll always remember his one legged hop as he played the guitar. RIP BB
