whitefang Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 A forum of so many so-called "blues lovers", and NO words of sorrow or condolences at the death of Etta James? SHAME ON YOU!! Rest easy, girl. You've earned it. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Here's to her, her magnificent voice, and her good, very long run of it! I only saw notice of this the other day. I think Etta would be a little less chastising and a little more understanding here, and also recognize that this is primarily a guitar-centric sorta forum.
