We'll miss you, Bo.

I was 17, first year in college and had really no idea who I was watching. I liked him but hadnt a clue who he was.
The next day I learned one of the strings broke on his guitar while he was playing but no one caught on. He just kept on playing.
He was an intregal part of part of Rock and Roll's formation and I feel very special to have witnessed his performance that night so long ago.

Coochie, I love that man so much also, and am so sad he's gone.  
Yes, it's to bad he didn't make money off everything he's done for music, my ex played him a lot, and along with some oldie but moldies, attributed a lot of his love for music to this man.
He is a great contributor to music, it's a sad day!
