Sad loss, truly a musical treasure. RIP Miss Etta, thank you for all the great music. Steve perhaps some Etta this week in tribute. Perhaps Mr. Zito would enjoy this as well. :)

A Legend :tro:. I bet she is up there jammin' with Gary Moore, and BB king :)

Whoa, I don't think BB King, if so I had not heard? :(

Oh.. well... When he dies then :p

He's alive and well.

I had the pleasure of meeting him about 5-6 years ago. He wasn't a picture of good health, but what a nice guy. He sat down and talked to a group of us like he knew us for 20 years.

That's outstanding, he sounds like a great man. Hell he's one of a select group on Sirius who now have their own channel, BB King's Bluesville one of my favs. :) In terms of his health he's got diabetes, so it is a big concern, but last i heard he was still touring. Terrific player to say the least.

Perhaps you meant Albert King, he was a great player as well he passed away in 1992. It's ok, the sentiment is understood. :)

That's the one. Both fantastic Blues players.

Agreed :)

RIP great lady....At Last singing to the angels....:tro::{>:

:rolleyes: No clue, didn't he play for the Nets, or was that Bernard? Or both?:D Either way, different Albert. No wait, seems to me Albert may have played with the Sixers back in the Dr. J. days, i could be wrong?
