I’ll admit, I am not really a fan of the Blues, nor particularly of BB King. But I can still admire him and his contributions.

When I was recruiting in Indiana, one of my fellow recruiters was a guy from Mississippi. He was about as corn pone a guy I ever met in the Army. You know, with his slow drawl, it took about 10 minutes for him to say good morning. His unhurried, languid manner hid a razor sharp mind, and a lightning quick wit.

He bore more than a passing resemblance to a younger BB King. And indeed, he had picked up a knock-off of Lucille, King’s inseparable partner, the guitar of legend. And he was pretty good at picking at it.

Couldn’t sing worth a damn though.
