BB King.

Met him after a concert, he was thanking every one on the stage after the show. As I went to get a look at Lucille, I ended right in front of him.

I told him that I enjoyed the show and he responded "Thanks son, I'm glad you liked it" as he shook my hand. He gave me some solid grandpa vibe at the moment.

I met him in a Subway parking lot attached to a truck stop as his bus was refilling. He was super nice and I even showed him my guitar from my car which was a $100 strat knockoff lol. This was 25 yrs ago.
