Dear Etta James

Dear Etta James,

I saw you emotionally move every human being while you performed at the Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl to a setting sun. You gave us your recordings and your interpretations as well for the thousands, millions, even billions who did not get to see you perform in person. Get well. I hope to speak with you again as we both smile.

God bless you.

If you got the BOGUS email, it's time to hit DELETE!

There's an email floating around - entitled "I'm 76 and tired" - purportedly sent by me. I did not write the email, I did not send the email, I'm not 76, and I don't subscribe to the ugly views expressed in the email.
