Hey, didn't BB King call his ax "Lucille"? :) ""I'm very crazy about Lucille," he (BB) begins. It's a general reference of course, for after all, many guitars have been part of King's life. "I've had many guitars ... and I always call them Lucille. She's taken me a long way, even brought me some fame ... most of all, she's kept me alive, being able to eat ... Lucille practically saved my life two or three times," he says, referring to one of his several auto accidents, "The car stopped turning over, it fell over on Lucille and it held it up off of me." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damian Stewart" <damian@frey.co.nz> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 8:24 PM Subject: Re: Vintage Gear, E-bait etc > mark sottilaro wrote: > >> This has led me to think about my new gear.
