BB King has died. What a life.

“I was a regular hand when I was seven. I picked cotton. I drove tractors. Children grew up not thinking that this is what they must do. We thought this was the thing to do to help your family,” he said.

When the weather was bad and he couldn’t work in the cotton fields, he walked 10 miles to a one-room school before dropping out in the 10th grade.

I saw him just once, on a double bill with Miles Davis in Vienna, sometime in 86/87. Just listen: one note fills.
