Meeting the King

I have seen B B King (http://www.bbking.com/) 8 times in the last 5 years. As an usher at my local venue, I get to see him for free, but it took winning a ticket auction to guarantee meeting him and getting him to sign my guitar. It was an hour ride each way to a different venue, and we had front row seats. I know that he recognized me as after the first song, he threw his pick directly at me. Unlike my local venue no one moved, so I was able to retrieve it for my collection. Then after the show my wife and I spent a good 30 Min's on his tour bus chatting to him and enjoying his genuine generosity. It was one of the highlights of my life that I will never forget.
