P.I.P. THE THRILL IS GONE - B.B. King & Lucille

aandrethegiant

How many of us guitarists owe so much to this man's existence, talent, and brilliance? I can't answer that... How do you give infinity limits?

How many Blues and RnR fans owe their favorite song, musician or band and their favorite song, musician or band to this man's body of work over 60+ years?


Everyone will be playing the Thrill IS GONE... as they should today.... but not this cat.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL....

You don't "hear" the great musicians, you FEEL them. This was so true of BB King's playing. You just KNEW it was him, that it was Lucille... the moment that BB played.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

---

"B.B., Anyone can play a thousand notes and never say what you say in one." Lenny Kravits.


B.B.'s words of Wisdom:


"The blues was bleeding the same blood as me."

"I never use that word, retire."

"The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you."

"I was born on a plantation, and things weren't so good. We didn't have any money. I never thought of the word 'poor' 'til I got to be a man, but when you live in a house that you can always peek out of and see what kind of day it is, you're not doing so well. And your rest room is not inside the house."

"It seems like I always had to work harder than other people. Those nights when everybody else is asleep, and you sit in your room trying to play scales."

"When I do eventually drop, I pray to God that it'll happen in one of three ways. Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You'll have to figure that out for yourself!"

B. B. King
