why is b b king's guitar named lucille?
back in 1947, in arkansas, b b was playing in some dive. the place was heated by a barrel of kerosine.
two drunks were arguing over a woman named lucille. they knocked over the barrel, so the dive caught fire.
b b ran back in to get his $30 hollow body guitar.
he named it lucille, to remind him to stay the heck out of arkansas.
ever since then, his guitars have always been named lucille.
