Tacoma, Wash., paper regrets wishing the deceased Etta James a happy birthday:
“An item on Page A2 in Wednesday’s paper incorrectly stated that it was singer Etta James’ 74th birthday. James died last week.”

Rest In Peace, Etta. Unless you feel like raising a ruckus. In that case, give it all you got!
I appreciate your playing Etta’s version of “Take It to the Limit.” But the live version is better. You can hear it for free at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAH97-TDFzk.
I never realized how many of her songs were in my own personal Greatest Hits! Peace be with you Etta James!
I’ve listened to this episode several times. It’s so great!
