Long Live The King! Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Lucille longs for you
You that gently five
strings
especially her third, 'G' string
It was either Gibson 345 or 355, I had the same kind
You influenced many as your interpretation of the blues Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton comes to mind
You've gained awards from President to Grammy's to the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Then much more you can claim
Blues guitarist-vocalists are performing in tribute 'The Thrill is Gone' for you today in every blues bar across the world
Even I played it when you were living
So R. I. P. B. B. King.
