Blues Wednesday - Mississippi Blues for Mary Beth. She knew B.B. King and loved his music.

Welcome to Morning Open Thread. Come on in. The coffee is hot and the company....is blue.

This is for Mary Beth. She met B.B. King when he came to Ole Miss several times when she was a student there. She never missed hearing him play in the Grove or on stage whenever he came to visit. His daughter attended Ole Miss at the same time Mary Beth was there.

She loved his music and really liked the man himself. He was already a Legend, along with his guitar, “Lucille.”

We have set a date for her service. It will be at 4:00 PM on October 20.

Come on in. Sit and reflect a spell. Share what is on your mind.
