Quote: Blues legend B.B. King has died in Las Vegas at age 89, his lawyer says. Attorney Brent Bryson tells The Associated Press that King died peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 p.m. PDT Thursday at his home in Las Vegas.  Glad I got to see him many times. Even saw him play with Clapton.  |

Timeless music, great stuff to throw a record down, open some wine and cook dinner to. Thank you for the countless great evenings relaxing and having a good time. RIP.

Wow.......What a sad, sad day. Have never had the honor to see him perform, but the loss is felt nonetheless.

Holy shit... B.B. King inspired many (including me) with music. He was a wonderful musician, artist and person. I have seen him a few times in concert, memorable experiences. Lucille will also be missed.

He was working and touring until the end of his life.
I saw him play in his prime, in Montreal at the old Capital Theater before it was torn down and replaced with a multiplex theater box. His opener was Luther Allison, who was pretty hot at the time. BB owned the show, though. He loved music, loved to play, and loved his audience. And, he played Lucille until there was smoke coming off the strings. Or so it seemed. He was the best blues guitarist, and vocalist there ever was - the King of Blues. _________________ Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.

Very sad. RIP, King.
Tonight I'll be seeing Joe Bonamassa in Seattle. He opened up for BB when he was around 12years old. I got a feeling he'll play a tribute for the legend. _________________ The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. |

No other Blues fan will be able to witness it, so close after Kings death. It will be very sad and heart warming at the same time. I'm in the center on the floor, about 20 rows up. Maybe I'll wear some waguns Shwag tonight. _________________ The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. |
