2. I then saw him in concert some 15 times after that! A complete professional and the most engaging performer I'd ever seen, he changed my life, and he is the reason I play guitar.
Thanks for the music and memories Mr. King - the world isn't the same without you. #BBKing #blues #musicsky #bbking100
