B.B. King (Sept 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015)

I’m a very sad man at the loss, although I knew it would be coming very soon as he couldn’t stand and play any longer. BB influenced myself and my guitar heroes like Eric and all the great British greats that were older than me in the 60’s.  I had a very wonderful few minutes with BB one night in LA before I became famous or a professional. I’ll never forget that night or how great this man was. I have been very sad since I first heard the news. I can’t imagine who could ever fill his void. He was the MAN!!! GOD BLESS BB.
