Hello Friends,
Well as they say, the thrill is gone!
Blues legend, B.B. King passed away yesterday at the ripe old age of 89.
Like any virtuoso of his craft, B.B. King made his incredibly smooth and precise guitar playing seem effortless and easy!
The following is from the liner notes of King's Live in Cook County Jail record from 1971:
With his trusty Gibson guitar Lucille, King developed his audiences in stages, connecting with African-Americans region by region in the 1950s and '60s, breaking through to the American mainstream in the '70s and becoming a global ambassador for the blues soon thereafter, becoming the first blues musician to play the Soviet Union.
R.I.P. BB!
