LoL That is super awesome!
I have never lip synced a performance. Probably shoulda, but never did.
And, I don't give two shits about most musical artists at a personal level. I don't give a shit that John Lennon is dead. I miss the fuck out of BB King.
i'm not sure I follow. Was he a friend? Did you go to lots of his shows?
I've gone to many of his shows, spoken to him on a few occasions, played with some of the people he has played with, even played at venues he's played at. I've admired him from the first time I heard him. I've met some of his family, even.
We weren't friends and he surely didn't know my name - but he did remember speaking to me previously.
If you shared the stage with him, I doubt you'd find a more gregarious person to do so. Some of my on-stage personality is heavily based on him. I've flown to another country just to see him and some friends of mine perform.
I miss him. I miss his performances. I miss his endless trying new things and his copious recordings. There will never be another BB King.
