@markmetz @vinylrecords I lucked into seeing #KokoTaylor live in 1989, naive and not really knowing who she was. She was of course amazing, and it was a transformative memory for me.
Musical Interlude: Listened to the Queen of the Blues today. Koko Taylor had a long career, from the 60s to the 21st century. Before she died in 2009, she was rightly acknowledged as a legend. Here's a sample from a live album, the track that introduced me to her.
"I'd Rather Go Blind," performed by Koko Taylor.

Preserved this week by the U.S. Library of Congress:
Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle".

.... includes Letterman's interview after the song, good if you are new to Koko.
