Description

Lucille is the name B.B. King gave to his guitar. The story goes something like this: In the winter of 1949, King played at a dance hall in Twist, Arkansas. In order to heat the hall, a barrel half-filled with kerosene was lit. This was a fairly common practice at that time. During the performance, two men began to fight, knocking over the burning barrel and sending burning fuel across the floor. The hall burst into flames, which triggered an evacuation. Once outside, King realized that he had left his guitar inside the burning building. He entered the blaze to retrieve his beloved $30 Gibson guitar. Two people died in the fire. The next day, King learned that the two men were fighting over a woman named Lucille. King named that first guitar Lucille, as well as every guitar he has owned since that near-fatal experience, as a reminder never again to do something as stupid as run into a burning building or fight over women. Blues music is one of my favorites types of music to listen to. This painting is actually the first in a new series I'm doing of "music icons" The rich colors lend themselves nicely to any type of decor and would look especially good in your home bar or entertainment room. *********
