R.I.P. B.B. King!

A legend died yesterday, known as Beale Street Blues Boy King, or B.B. King,  there are very few artists that influenced as many musicians as King did.  I had the pleasure of introducing BB at the La Crosse Center ten years ago or so, and he was a complete gentleman.  I spent some time chatting with him, and I'll tell you a couple things... Lucille, his legendary guitar, did not feel special at all (very rough neck actually), and, he's not very happy when his fruit juice isn't sugar free (he was a diabetic).
