Young King

…………sometimes in life you have to say thanks while people are still here to accept our thanks……..I want to say thank you to B.B. King

Dear B.B. King

 Thank you, for sharing your incredible talent with the world,when it comes to Blues or excuse  me…”The Blues”… the first person to come to mind is you, it’s funny because I actually didn’t like your music as a child (keep in mind I was a child) I always felt that it was grown up music, that’s what the adults play, but as I got older and really started to understand music and appreciate musicianship I really started to  understand what you and other blues musicians were talking about, it actually opened me up to a new genre of music, even though it has always been there for me I just didn’t pick it up, but when I really think about it, I just wasn’t ready for “The Blues”. I was shocked when I found out your hit song “The Thrill is Gone” was actually a hit way back in 1951,but you put your stamp on that song  forever making it yours. Mr B.B. King we thank you for sharing your special gift with us…..tell Lucille we said hi & thanks.

Toast 2 BB King and Lucille
