3:33⅓ with Etta James

If I made a list of the ten most important days in my musical life I think the day I saw Elvin Bishop, Etta James and B.B. King in one sitting at Tanglewood in Massachusetts would make it. Etta James was probably the first musician I ever saw “work over” a crowd. She was sassy, she chatted, she flirted with all the band members she wasn’t related to. She was stately, charming and raunchy all at the same time. I love Etta James and I’m so glad I got to see her live.
