A Tear For RL

RL Burnside, delta bluesman extroardanaire passed away today (or maybe it was yesterday) at 78:

You owe it to yourself to check out a copy of "A Ass Pocket Full Of Whiskey."

Like most of us, and unlike most people that are able to attain fame and fortune - at least as musicians - RL didn't do his best work in his 20's and 30's. Most audiophiles hadn't even heard of him until he was in his 60's...Gives me some hope for my late start with the ole' g-box.
