Farewell to the "King of the Blues"

Riley Ben "B.B." King
1925-2015

I have loved and listened to the music of B.B. King since I first heard "Driving Wheel." I think it was 1961, and I was 13. Over the decades, B.B. and his guitar Lucille have been constants in my life.

The blues will never be quite the same without him. He will be genuinely missed by many, including me.

  1. A great talent. I had the privilege of seeing his show twice over the years. RIP, Mr. King.
