He was in the first commercial featuring the new Blue M&M. And he was a diabetic on top of that. :'( R.I.P.

I saw him live back in '07 on my 19th birthday. Kind of amazed he lived almost ten years after that considering I swore that'd be my last chance to see him live. He played Maine a few times after but I'm kind of glad I saw him when I did cause the last show he did here a year or two ago, I heard only went 25-30 minutes and was doddering. But hey, B.B. King could have made the audience pay $60 to watch him read the newspaper for all I care.

My MawMaw raised me listening to this mans music making breakfast ... Along side Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters ... She said she used to sneak under her bed to listen to the blues in the 50's in Alabama ... Outside of my brief child hood in Bama .. I didn't listen to much BB King .. But I've since made friends with some amazing blues musicians at Bourbon Street in Nashville ... I dedicate this post to my good friends Stacy Mitchhart and Gill Gann ... And of course my MawMaw !!! ... We're on the bus about to play Rock on the Range listening to some of BB's discography courtesy of @bigbassape ... Rest in peace BBKING ⚡️⚡️SLUMERICAN⚡️⚡️ #slumerican #lovestorytour chapter 1 history. @bonesowens @kleversworld @hillbillycasino ROCK AND ROLL
