The "thrill" has definitely gone. I remember B.B. talking about how there is always these "guitar slingers" coming up to him and wanting jam. When he would jam, he would play in the styles of guitar players he admired and not his own stuff, most, those who could play B.B. would slink away with their axe between their legs. Two that didn't were Eric Clapton & Carlos Santana. Carlos said he about died when B.B handed him Lucille and wanted him to play "her". Clapton really impressed B.B. "he kept right with me and I wasn't even playing my own style or stuff".
Yeah, B.B. will be missed, I hope his family got to see him before he passed.
