You know you're getting old when you can't keep track of who's alive and who's dead anymore. I guess the next step comes when you just assume every name you recognize is dead by default. *Sigh*
I never saw him perform, and I regret it. As a kid, I never really listened to the blues, and knew squat about music, but loved the way he made Lucille cry. I still remember seeing him for the first time on Sanford & Son reruns. I had no idea who he was until much later. "Oh damn, B.B. King on that Sanford & Son episode was somebody famous?? I thought he was just a character."
