A legend that truly deserved the status. Time for a funny story: I saw BB King play in Portland in the late 80's or so. He put on a spectacular show. After the show, only a horn player stayed around to sign autographs and mingle with the crowd. I went down to the stage and waited my turn. When the horn player looked at me, I asked him if he could walk over a few feet and pick up the BB King pick that was left on the stage. He did it but he gave me a "look!"

Mr King. Thanks for the music. As my son learns to play guitar now, a bit of you lives on. Yesterday while you were dying? He and I were trading out solos on the 12 bar blues.
