Hi, this is Eric Clapton here. I just want to express my sadness and to say thank you to my dear friend B.B. King. I want to thank him for all the inspiration and encouragement he gave me as a player over the years, and for the friendship that we enjoyed.
Umm… There’s not a lot left to say because this music is almost a thing of the past now, and there are not many left to play in the pure way that B.B. did. He was a beacon for all of us who loved this kind of music, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
So if you’re not familiar with his work, I would encourage you to go out and find and album called “B.B. King: Live at the Regal” which is where it really started for me as a young player.
So, thanks for letting me share this, and thanks very much. Good bye.
