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.

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.
