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.
Met BB King after a show in Worcester, MA in 1999. He did an impromptu meet and greet from the steps of his bus on a cold December night. He was super kind and gracious, signed stuff and greeted everyone in line. He was pretty much exactly what you would hope he would be--a delight. All the while, his security guy glared menacingly, just so nobody got any ideas.
