A blazing bar fire on a cold Twist, Arkansas night leads to the naming of one of the world's most famous guitars, B.B. King's "Lucille." When B.B. King rushed out of the burning building he realized he left his guitar inside. He risked his life to run back into the burning and collapsing building to save the guitar. The next day he found out the fight was between two men over a lady who worked in the nightclub named Lucille. He named his guitar after her to do a thing like that again.
