Morning Wilderness Man Raz.
By the way, B.B. King is in Home Hospice Care now.
Saw that, but no word given as to why. But at his age, doesn't much matter. If the diabetes doesn't get him, cancer will.
But it'll be sad to lose him.
Definitely one of the if not the greatest Juke Joint Blues guy ever. Yep he is plenty old enough but his music will live on for a mighty long time.
He's really the last connection to the Delta origins. The connection runs from King to Sonny Boy Williamson and bounces around among Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf, Tommy Johnson, Willie Brown and others before it winds up at Charley Patton. To my knowledge, there is no other living notable connection that reaches back to the pre-war era. When BB King goes, all that's left are recordings and pictures and the history books...and thank God for the Lomaxes.
