hymyR.I.P B.B. King
This is Lucile. BB King would name his favorite guitar "Lucille", and over the years many guitars (similar to the Gibson ES-355, but modified for him) enjoyed the moniker. The name came from a woman, but it's not what you think. Back in '49 he was playing a club in Arkansas when a fight broke out on the dance floor between to men over a woman. The men knocked over a barrel that was being used to heat the room and set the place ablaze. King ran out, realized he forgot his guitar, ran back in and grabbed it and escaped again. He later found out that both of the men fighting died in the fire, so he named his guitar after the woman they were fighting over to remind him to never do something as stupid as to run into a burning building, and that no woman was worth dying for. I like to think musicians have special connections to their instruments, and I wonder if Lucille is lonely today.
