Yes indeed.  A sad day.  What an immense talent lost.

I was at the BB King NY Tribute show in August 05, and
it was just amazing the love for this guy that
existed.

Evidently, that show if finally going to see the light
of day in March.  I encourage everyone to pick up a
copy when it is available.

I'll forever remember all those Ed Sullivan
appearances, with
Mike Smith behind his VOX Continental, winking at the
audience
and the camera.
