RELAXING WITH B B KING!









B B King was a person I admire both for his music and for the kind of man he was.  He has given birth to some beautiful, soulful and bluesy music, such as are on the CD, BB King, His Definitive Greatest Hits, which I am listening to at present. With tracks such as "Help the Poor..", "I am so Excited..", "Rock Me Baby", "In the Midnight Hour," and "Woke up this Morning.'

I suspect that B B King had a difficult life, and he was also aware of the difficult living which his family and African Americans have had to and, in many cases, still endured. This, most probably had helped to inspire B B King into making and performing the music which he has acquired mastery over.  

The chances are that he was probably a political man, as everybody probably is, to different degrees, but like many, B B King did not have to wear his politics on his sleeve to make his contribution to the advancement of humans.

As I said, beautiful music by an inspiring man who has, not long ago departed the world of the living, but who, through his beautiful music, has left a lot of  joy for the living.

Beautiful music, especially, Classical, Blues, Soul,, some Raggae, et al, has a way of appeal to and giving life to the ergo sum of  humans, that it is unbelievable that some religious and state authorities deprive people living under their authority from having access to and/or pursue their love of music

It seems to me that, having heard beautiful and soulful music, such as that which Mr B B King has left the world, is not only a crime against humanity; but it also deprived us of one of the essence of being humans. Beautiful music is not only the 'food of love'; it is also essential for living a healthy life.

Make listening to music - or singing - a regular pastime of yours; it can help to enrich your experience of living, and adds to your sense of tranquility.
