RIP: Etta James, the legendary genre-spanning singer who gave the world many memorable hits including “At Last” and “The Wallflower,” has passed away. She was 73.
James, who was diagnosed with leukemia 2010, had been in poor health for some time.
Affectionately known as Miss Peaches, the Matriarch of R&B had multiple Grammys to her name, and was inducted into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame.
Incidentally, the man who discovered James, Johnny Otis, passed away just yesterday.

This is the biggest picture I’ve drawn in the past three years. It was for a banned book week in 2010. I like working big but it’s so much more expensive (except when it’s sidewalk chalk).

I thought Sally of Les Femmes Folles might enjoy that I still have this.
So, in AYGAMG news:
We made a resolution this year and a plan for recording.
Our resolution this year is to, at the very least, act like we understand our worth. We have worked very hard to to get to the point we’ve reached, and we would like that reflected in the gigs we take. So, if we’re playing less than you would like, we apologize. When we do play, we’re going to do our best to knock your socks off and make it worth all of your patience.
We will be recording soon. We have more than enough songs to record another album, and so we will. We’re going to take a little more time to do it than the last album, we’re also going to take a little more risk. We’re currently trying to nail down exactly what we think will work right now and make decisions on what we could put on the back burner for whatever comes in the future. We have time available to us that was spent, in the past, playing as often as we could. We are instead going to use that time to make you something really special.
So, that being said, if you see that I’ve taken the time to go to an open mic night, that might be your best chance of catching any hints of what’s to come.
Also, I don’t remember if I mentioned this here, but we were nominated for another Omaha Entertainment and Arts Award this year in the category of Best Adult Alternative/Singer-Songwriter. The big show is February 13th. So, I’ll let you know how that goes down.
We’ll be seeing you,
Becks
