Very sad news. I was just listening to an album of his today, and wondered how he was doing. :(

Although we all know we start dying the minute we're born doesn't make it any easier---even 89 years later.
Rest In Peace Mr. King

First saw BB King when he was the opening act on the Rolling Stones "Let it Bleed" tour at Colorado State University, Nov. 1969. His music has been with me for many years. RIP.

" Nobody loves me but my Mother.. And then she could be jivin too "

A bit of irony in BB's lyrics, fortunately not the reality in his case.
Thank you for the lessons, as much for the music as for the humble welcoming personality.

Had a chance to see him live in Newport about 4-5 years ago. I was too exhausted from driving VIP's and ATP players around all day. That is a regret...
