| 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 gibson 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. | |
