Etta and the Dead doing Hard to Handle. (Not sure how to get a YouTube to embed here...)

I love this clip, and I love the fact that Wavy Gravy posted it on Facebook today, which is how I found it, and that he was re-posting it from Neal Cassady, Jr.

I was lucky enough to see Etta perform live several occasions. She could really ring the rafters with her voice. I will miss her and just listened to " I'd rather be a blind girl" to remind myself of how much I enjoyed her performances.
