A great man who influenced a lot our famous musicians over the years.  He had a long life and his music will live on.

A few years ago my younger daughter and her friend visited the USA and travelled around on Greyhound bus. She went to New Orleans and went to a blues bar there. The owner arrived from New York and performed half a dozen blues. She said "People were very excited because he doesn't come often. I've never heard of him but you probably know him Dad - he was called B. B. King".

I went to his place on Beale, St  Memphis and had a meal but he was away on tour. There was a young guy on keyboard
that was every bit as good as Ray Charles, mind blowing. I had blackened Catfish and it was---------different.!
