This short song is dedicated to Legendary Mr. B.B.King


Happy 85th Birthday Mr. King

God of all music..
Mr. King,
Where would we be without blues..
Where would blues be without you..

Your tone is rich and velvety.
Yet simple and distinct..

When you stop singing..
You make your guitar sing..
Which you have named lucille..

Every note you play..
express emotions in its truest form..
Anything that comes out from you..
Is bluest of all blues...

Wishing you the best..
May you live long and sing song..

In all sense..
You will always be the king of blues.

The last two lines of the first stanza say it all... Amen to that! ;)

Who has not heard Lucille?
BB King is the blues. When Clapton plays the blues, he calls BB King. When Cyndi Lauper plays the blues, she calls BB King.
Hope he plays 'till he's 100!
