My wife before retiring last year was head librarian in town here... I remember the library hiring Ella to do a show about 15 years ago.  One catch, she needed a ride to and from here residence on the NearNorth in Chicago to the far SouthSide suburbs here. We picked her up and took her back home... What a lovely lady!  I still remember the tutorial she gave us during the ride.  She could make music from anything! She asked for a quarter... Then gave us information how modern quarters just don't make the same sound as the old silver quarters!  It was a Wyoming State quarter she used... Still sounded lovely! Have the quarter to this day!

RIP Ella...

Most famous people's death I don't exactly feel at all.  Like even watching the Rocky films millions of times, Carl Weathers death didn't hurt me.  But there's usually one once in a while that stings a bit.

 

Last year it was Shannen Doherty.  Pretty girl/woman and I know she struggled years with cancer and fought hard against it.  

 

Plus I associate her with the 80's/90's/2000's
