Wes thu hal, Etta

[martasfic]

Blues great Etta James died of leukemia today. Her strength and passion always shone clearly through her songs, and I often found myself thinking she could sing the walls off a barn if she set her mind to it. She's an amazingly talented musician, to be sure, but it was the strength I could hear in her songs that got me through so many hard years. Sing on.
