ABOUT THE GUITAR:
"Like so many other guitar players, I cut my blues chops listening to B. B. King records and ripping off as many of his licks as I could.

So, a few years ago when a replica of "Lucille," the legendary black-as-coal Gibson ES-355 with gold hardware, showed up at a Texas "Make-A­ Wish" charity auction, I jumped all over it.

Unfortunately, I discovered something else in the process: owning a guitar named Lucille does not necessarily mean you can play the blues like B.B."
