I had met her at her club back in '95 and she was very kind and took the time to stop me as I was walking past to tell me she liked my playing.
That meant alot to a at-the-time 30 year old who had just been back into playing in front of people for 2 years.
She was a very kind,sweet woman and will be missed greatly by the whole blues community and anyone who ever heard her sing.

The first track I thought of when I heard the news this morning: Something You Got
Too bad it's the only version on YouTube. I have no idea what that video has to do with the song. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
