| That he did! And he did what he loved to do pretty much to the end. | |

| BB will be sorely missed.
He was an innovator. Not many guitarists can really say that. Too many times you have guitarists who may can shred the guitar to pieces, but they can't say they've actually ever done something different. They can do speed, but they don't know feeling. BB knew how to make you truly FEEL something when he played. He could make you mad, make you cry, or even make you laugh when he played. His music had emotion flowing from it. That's something that most music today lacks.
BB, I hope that someday musicians will go back and study your work to rediscover what made your playing so enjoyable for so many generations of people and then bring that back to music today. I hope that I can be one of those people. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| BB was a legend.
I hope what Chris has written about musicians. And people bring htat back to music. Maybe a cool blues song as tribute to BB. Or a blues song on the BB way. | |
