badbluesplayer Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 His primary cause of death was alzheimer's. I guess being an active musician must have helped him ward off the disease. Hmmm. Article here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I guess I'm satisfied with the notion his cause of death had something to do with being 89 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matonanjin Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 just another feat he achieved that its entirely probable none of us will manage. Given my lifestyle (for a lot of years) I'm sure I won't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis G Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 His primary cause of death was alzheimer's. I guess being an active musician must have helped him ward off the disease. Don't know if you saw the Glen Campbell special "I'll Be Me", but it portrays how he may or may not know who you are, but hand him a guitar and he's got it!. Talk about muscle memory! As for BB, let's not forget he was 89 and spent 2/3 of the year on the road. That's like living in dog years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 1437132833[/url]' post='1676986']His primary cause of death was alzheimer's. I guess being an active musician must have helped him ward off the disease. Hmmm. Article here I didn't know that. I had a brain tumor that screwed me all up decades ago, effected some memory and had to relearn some things. Sure hope I never get that dreaded disease, lost an Aunt to it. That's why I took up guitar again Badbluesplayer. Hope it keeps my mind sharp. Here's a little story of my Aunt. " My Mother took Alice to Little Kings once, and while she was ordering the food, she turned around and no Alice. Franticly she looks around for her and also looks in the restroom, no Alice. She goes by the kitchen, and there's Alice with pants off sitting on the trash can taking a dump." Two employees are in the kitchen, a guy and a gal, jaws dropped, eyes big watching on. Like, it's your turn to take out the trash! She didn't know what she was doing, she was the nicest lady that I ever remembered and would do anything for you. Wife keeps telling me I have to keep doing things that keep my mind sharp. That's why I took up guitar again. I have a super hard time doing solos though. Some are so long and complicated with bends, and add speed, i wonder if I'll ever get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
