B.B. King, one of the last remaining greats of the Blues world, passed away at the age of 89. Not much of a surprise considering he was in pretty bad shape, but still a gut wrenching fact to swallow. Very few people could make you fall in love with one bend of a guitar string, and B.B. was one of those people. He claimed he never used the word ‘retire’, and even though his body may have gone, his soul will doubtless live on.

Here’s a little tribute.
