We were putting the final touches on blues-based posts together (in time), but separate (in space).<br /><br />I loves me my Sirius/XM... I can't remember the last time I played a CD in my car, it's all XM, all the time... and makes that four-hour drive to ABQ pass all too quickly.<br /><br />In re: Etta. This, from an post at EIP:<br /><br /><i>I've been privileged to see Etta James on a number of occasions, the most memorable o' which was in a small pub in Camden Town (in London) back in the day, which is to say sometime during 1980 - 1983. When I say "small," I mean SMALL... as in "could mebbe seat 100 people, with another 50 standing." The Second Mrs. Pennington and I arrived at said pub about two hours before show time in order to secure seats before Etta's performance, knowing full well how small it was from previous experience with that venue. The end result was we were both very well-oiled by the time Etta took the stage (and I use the term "stage" loosely) but that did NOT diminish the experience in the least. Miz James did two sets that night, if memory serves, and that evening was one of my very best musical experiences... which included the opportunity to say "hi" and thank her personally for her performance. It don't get no better than that, Gentle Reader.</i><br /><br />I'm dead serious about the "it don't get no better" bits in the above.<br /><br />RIP, Etta.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
