Such a sad loss to the music world.

I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago after he had given an impromptu performance in the KLM lounge in Schiphol. He was a very pleasant, unassuming man who clearly loved his music and enjoyed doing concerts around the world. In my opinion, he never received the amount of airplay he deserved in the UK, but that's a whole different story. RIP.

I also had the pleasure of meeting BB King. I was on a flight from Minneapolis to Gatwick on a Northwest DC10 probably in 2000 or 2001, and he and his band were onboard heading for a European tour. I didn't recognize him at first because of a hat he was wearing. I ran into him in the forward galley area as I stretching my legs, and he struck up a conversation with me. Very unassuming, very gracious, and very engaging. My sons sat right by him, and when we got off the aircraft, he made a point of talking to them too. A very impressive and genuine person, and a great musician. A great loss.
