I got to meet BB King in Toronto once. He was a nice gentleman and a legendary musician.

@ehBeth,

We ran into him as he was jamming at the old Hurricane shop in Nawlins. We were comin from playing a softball game nd got in with a "group cover"
He signed my soffball.

"boy thats one funny name you got, " He said as he signd it.

He then did a loooong set and we got quietly hammered. He were good.

@edgarblythe,

This is a sad time for music and music lovers. His presence was a like a beacon. If my memory serves me well, I saw him at Paul's Mall (long gone now) in Boston around 1974-75 timeframe.

I'm going to play a bunch of his tunes today.

@Ragman,

I never saw him, but of course liked him.
Rest in Peace, Blues Boy.

Yep. Sad day. I saw him and Gregg Allman together in concert once. Unforgettable.

that he smoked for a lot of years is a negative comment. Again we find you not following along.

Carlos Santana paid tribute to BB tonight, he called him the Chairman of the Board. He was an inspiration for many musicians .

@edgarblythe,

Listening to a repeat of a radio interview Holger Peterson did with BB King 9 years ago. Hopefully it'll be on the CBC website tomorrow.

Terrific terrific interview.

What a charming gentleman.

I saw him as well, nearly 15 years ago. Downhearted indeed

According to his bio, he stopped smoking when he was 25. Can you subtract 25 from 89? You seem to always look for something that would diminish others. Its not just BB, its a pattern for you. How does the fact that people will miss a legend make you feel defensive? Never mind explaining, Im not that curious. You're just a guy who only sees the hole in the doughnut. oh well.

Really dude, not every thread is about you. This one is definitely not about you.
