B B is also my favourite. Such class. A friend of mine knows him and has played with him a few times and has some memorabilia to send me-including an autograph addressed to me.
Wow ! Nice one :D
Imagine being able to say that you had actually played with B.B.King !
I met him backstage at Edinburgh playhouse (?) in 1982 - and he graciously signed me a 'dedicated ' promo photo + plus handed me the plectrum he had been playing with that night. I was just really overwhelmed, but he was so gracious and friendly. There was just shy little me and the local press. He quickly realised that I must have been there as a respectful fan - and acted accordingly.
I can therefore imagine that actual memorabillia will be literally 'worth the King's ransom' . Please let me / us know what you get, I genuinely feel happy and excited for you and your fortunate friend.
It will be a sad day indeed when he plugs into that great '65 re-issue in the sky .
