~In Memoriam~



It is with great sadness that we 
mark the passing of the
Queen of the Blues,
Koko Taylor,
in June 2009 from complications
after surgery in May.
Our condolences go out to her family
and legion of friends and admirers.

Koko Taylor
and her Blues Machine...
graced the Riverfront Blues Festival stage in 2008,
and they were OUTSTANDING! 
The 6 1/2 minute ditty above is of her opening number,
"Let the Good Times Roll,"
and roll they did as the Queen put on a memorable show for all. 
Just hit the "Play" button to begin the video. 



THANKS for the memories, Koko.
And they are many.
 

And like the lady sings above,
                 and when our mourning is eased,

"Hey everybody--let's have some fun.
    You only live once,
  . . . So Let the Good Times Roll!"
