@venetiancat Alcohol sucks the life out of too many good people.

That's Big Terry DeRouen on guitar. He played with Mama regularly. He was with Guitar Shorty for years after that.What an awesome player, and great guy. He's still active in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.

@millervedra Yes, this was filmed a few months before she died. I saw her at the Newport Folk Festival the summer before this performance. She didn't look too healthy and had to be helped off the stage. Heavy drinking did her in!

@lordkoos Poor thing, it looks like she was too weak to stand, looks like alcohol literally sucked the life out of her. What a talent though, how blessed you are to have performed with her!

No matter how many big spoons there was in her life ... she surely had them full and ate it with pleasure. The spoons are gone and she as well she kept her voice to the last min. ... the spoons are gone and she as well ... but thanks to those who kept her music alive.
