For B. B.
« on: May 15, 2015, 06:36:50 AM »
Jazz legend B. B. King has passed away at the age of 89.

The world will never sound the same again.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Best phrase I've ever read in here applies:

I've seen him a few times at the house of blues and a couple of other places in N.O. 
It's been a long time since I saw him last.  I will miss his music.  and no cd does not replace the man in person.

It would be my guess that Lucille is destined for the Smithsonian. 

Thank you B. B. King, you made the world just a bit better.
