Paul.

[Shadowcaster]

He gave so much great music to the world, a true guitar hero

RIP

[Fozzer]

He fathered 15 Children, and has 50 Grandchildren....

...I wonder if that's a recipe for a long life?....nearly 90.... ....!

Paul....with 5 Children, and zillions of Grandchildren + Great Grandchildren... ...!

P.S. ....I don't even bother practising now... ....!

Clearly having lots of children means they fight each other rather than you, which reduces stress
Sad to hear of his passing, a legendary musician.

Been listening to his stuff since the days of vinyl ......... Sad passing but he had a very long life and I remember seeing him recently on the box and being surprised he was still alive.

If there is such a thing as moving on there will be a lot of souls very happily looking for tickets to his 1st gig in the skies

Paying my last respects: R.I.P. BB King. He will certainly be missed, but his music will live on. A soulful musician who made a great contribution to the world of music.

[G.K.]

Sad loss but at least we can say he had a good innings.

The Album "Midnight Believer" was the one that hooked me, 1978 I believe. Not a bad track on it but the best one for me was "When it all comes down", a masterpiece of understated guitar, less is more.

R.I.P. Sad we'll no longer hear Lucille, except in recordings! Truly my favorite. All blues fans will understand this next remark- Stay healthy Buddy!!:-)

Had the honor of seeing BB with Jeff beck a few years back; without a doubt, one of the top three concerts I've ever seen.

RIP BB & Lucille... you will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
