RL Burnside - gone, but not forgotten

One thing I forgot to mention in my last posting is that my favorite blues artist of all time, RL Burnside, passed away this past week at the age of 79. I was fortunate enough to see him play live twice during my time in Grand Forks. He had a tough life in the hillcountry of Mississippi, and didn't really gain much recognition until the 1990's, when he was over 70 years old. En pace resquisat.
