Title: For B. B.

Jazz legend B. B. King has passed away at the age of 89.

The world will never sound the same again.

Yeah Ive seen him many, many times and spoken with him a few. He was always a gentleman and a great musician.

The thrill is gone. And one of my favs. Will be listening to him this afternoon on Pandora.

Best phrase I've ever read in here applies:

"The front porch in heaven just became a much cooler place"

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.
