This Really Gives Me The Blues: Legend B.B. King in Hospice
May 2, 2015 15:39:10 #
I've admired, listened to his music, and watched his performances over and over.
I never imagined it would all end some day.....since he's been a around all my life.
"The Thrill is Gone" will now have more than one meaning.
I've ALWAYS said that "the best time to listen to the Blues is when you ain't got 'em".
I will be making an exception in this case.

Blues legend B.B. King was in hospice care Friday at his home in Las Vegas, according to a longtime business associate with legal control over his affairs.
The 89-year-old musician posted thanks on his official website for fans' well-wishes and prayers after he returned home from a brief hospitalization, said Laverne Toney, King's longtime business manager and current power-of-attorney.
"Mr. King is where he wishes to be," Toney said. "He's always told me he doesn't want to be in a hospital. He wants to be at home."

B.B. King, one of the nicest men you'll ever meet. I met him once, when I lived in Las Vegas. He was in the DMV, as I was, and never asked any favors to get head-of-the-line privileges (which he could have). He would converse and joke with anyone, a real down to earth man. Sorry, to hear his failing health.

B. B. King one of the truly great musicians of our time. Watch on you tube him with Stevie Ray Vaughn. I know I will miss him and make a prayer for him today.

The 'thrill' will never gone as long as I am able hear B.B.'s music. A major musical talent and influence for others. He and Stevie Ray played together on a number of occasions, to my knowledge, and always were a delight. :thumbup: 8-)
