Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with B.B. KING!

What a loss. Luckily we had a long run with Mr. King. He kept playing well into his 80's and touring over 100 nights a year in his late 80's. Incredible. Johnny saw him one night back about 10 or 12 years ago at his club in Nashville. If you check out Johnny's Twitter feed you can see the picture Johnny posted of Mr. King waving at him as he walked in his club.

So, let's set the mood. Turn the lights down. Get that cigar out you've been saving for something special. Pour yourself a couple fingers of bourbon over rocks and turn this one up. It's probably the best song ever at telling stories. If you've never heard the story of why his guitar was named Lucille well, he tells it right here in this song, aptly named, 'Lucille'.

Legends like this are always missed, but it sure seems like with B.B. King it hurts more.
