down and dirty blues
without all of the cursing
god love etta james
I was driving home from picking the wee one up at school and I heard Etta James singing At Last on the radio. It actually, literally took my breath away.
Maybe I can wean the wee-er one off of Amy Winehouse and onto Etta. It’s all fun and games until your toddler’s first words are "I don’t wanna go to rehab, no no no."
Haiku of the Day 
Dude, I was just listening to that song yesterday. It’s been a fave of mine for a long time. Sad to say that the first time I heard it was on the Northern Exposure soundtrack ….. on cassette ….. ’cause that’s how I roll …..

We adore Etta. Make sure to listen to the album that’s entirely her covers of Billie Holiday (coincidentally, a Billie album was last night’s dinner music). Double the breath-taking-ness!
