I was wondering if anyone here noticed.
I've been a student of blues guitar for 30 years now but only really dug into B.B.'s work in the last decade or so and realized how great he was, not just as a guitar player but as a singer and entertainer.
He was still playing tons of shows until the last year or two when his health got in the way. I didn't realize this until recently, and he'd been through my town just before I realized this. I don't go to many shows but if he was to come through one more time I was going to go. In fact he is the only performer I actually wanted to go see at this point. Bummed his health gave up before he could make it back one more time and sad to see him go.
I figured he lived a pretty full life though, not sure you can find any performer who kept more busy than him for longer, he played a massive amount of shows. He always seemed to have a happy and smiling disposition too, just seemed like a great human being.
The ad itself is funny how it states he is a Jazz guitarist. Not sure I have really heard anything too jazzy out of him yet. Makes me wonder how much he really used the Amiga.
