Blackbriar 8,569 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) The death has just been announced of BB King, "the King of the Blues", one of music's finest guitarists. Probably the last of the greatest generation of blues performers, he was 89 and had been ill for some time. I had the pleasure of seeing him live some years ago, and he was magnificent ! Very sad news............ Edited May 15, 2015 by Blackbriar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
