Humpday Blues
Lucille. The legendary Gibson ES-355 of BB King.
You all know this story, right?
When he was first starting out he was playing at a juke when a fight broke out between two men. A lantern was knocked over and a fire started, fire codes not being so great in that time and place.
Everyone evacuates
, including BB. Once outside, however, he realizes he left his guitar in the building. Unable to afford another, he rushes
back into the burning building, grabs the guitar and barely gets out in time. Two people lost their lives in that fire.
Later, he learns that the fight broke out over a woman whose name was Lucille. He named that guitar and every one after it Lucille to remind him to "never do a damn fool thing like that again."
The guitar in the case here is one of his early electric Lucilles which now rests comfortably in The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi -- Ground Zero for the Blues.
Lucille and Her Man, Live at Sing Sing 1972
