I loved Etta James' music. It sounds like she had a tough struggle with drugs and life in general. I hope her music was a gift to her as it was to all of us.
Diana, that was a great day. It's nice to have great music associated with milestones. And great people!
Brenda, that's a really lovely thought. I hope her gift helped ease some of the pain she felt in life, and that she eventually found some peace. I hope you are well.
It seems so many who are gifted creatively struggle with drug abuse, fitting in or whatever. I loved her song "At Last." What a cute tribute you've shared here, Cyn. Thank you!
Sharing what I am learning about cancer and some good chat about family, food, wine, books and the other joys in life. If you want to follow the whole journey, please start with my post from May 12, 2010. Cheers.
My most powerful memory of her music is watching you and my brother dance at your wedding... at last. Rest in Peace, Etta.
