Earlier on May 15, 2015 the musical "universe" lost one of its stars. B.B. King was a wonderful blues musician and a gentlemen. He played for prisoners, in blues clubs, at jazz festivals and concert halls around the world. Two of my favorite albums are Live at the Cook County Jail and Live at the Regal. I still have LPs of those two but usually listen to the CD version.
Some believe that the thrill is gone; but, I believe that the thrill is with us as long as we have the ability to listen to B.B. King's music.
I decided to post images of some of the albums I own. Feel free to post any images of B.B. King or his albums.

B.b. king live at the regal
Here is an image of B.B King's live at the Regal. For some reason I couldn't post two pictures along side of each other successfully.

Cook County Jail is the one for me.

I know a lot of folks dig Clapton, but he absolutely puts me to sleep.
