JT IRREGULARS: RIP Koko

RIP Koko

Koko Taylor, The Queen of Blues has passed away. How sad. I had the opportunity to see her in Milwaukee at an afternoon concert. A guy in the audience had a heart attack. (He was transported and turned out to be ok) She stopped the concert and did everything she could to ensure the guy got the help he needed.
Saw her again at Harbor Fest.

She was one great singer........

If you have never heard her music, I recommend searching for it. Even if you don't like the blues.
