What is the name of B.B. King's Guitar and Why Did He Name it This Name?
Hint: He performs a classic B.B. King song about his guitar that has some of the answers. I admit I have heard part of B.B.'s story about his guitar and it's name. I was just wondering if anyone knew more about this unique story.

He named his guitar Lucille. As the story goes, one cold night in Arkansas, King was at a dancehall. Back then they used kerosene lamps to heat the place. Two men got into a fight, one of the lamps got knocked over and a fire started. Everyone, B.B. King included, ran out. Once safely outside, B.B. King realized he forgot his guitar. He ran inside the burning building and got her. The next day he found out the two men were fighting over a woman named Lucille. B.B. named his guitar that same name to remind him to never do anything so stupid as run into a burning building, ever again. He has since named every one of his guitars.
