Oh no!

Was lucky enough to see the Legend many times over 30 years

 

[Noeland]

One of my absolute favorites. He gave us lots of amazing music!

There's a blues club in heaven that just got a little brighter...
RIP B.B. King...you will be missed.

He also lived with Diabetes for Decades, and is an inspiration to those of us who have to deal with it. Tonight his guitar gently weeps.

 

[PHArchivist]

On the eve of the SoCal (south OC) Doheney Blues Fest... Sad, and poignant timing.

 

[George]

Rest his soul.His music will live on

Sad news. I'm just working my way through a "how to play blues guitar" book/CD and of course, his name comes up often. He was definitely one of the keepers of the flame in a musical world whose tastes have moved on (and not often for the better).

 

[Feraud]

The music world has lost a legend. Sad news.

 

[CB2001]

It's sad he's gone. But then again, the blues often dealt with loss. So, I guess we all know what the blues feel like.

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Just heard this now. RIP to a music legend.
