1925-2015

“I just love singing my blues.”

He lived 89 years, and he toured constantly till just a few months ago, and he could make a guitar weep.  I saw him a number of times, and he was never less than a standout, even when he was opening for someone else.

Sirius Radio’s blues channel is playing B.B. 24 hours, and I’ve been listening all day, but it has to be admitted the thrill is gone.
