Dude, nowhere does it say the word 'legend'. Never heard of this cat. Don't embellish the dead. Do you consider this a write-up of a 'legend'? Five sentences?

There goes a risk I was planning to take. Let's see if he gets a QO and if that risk would've been successful if it had lasted that long

Charles Bradley makes comeback after cancer treatment:

 

http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/charles-bradley-returns/

 

As I said, coincidentally I knew his treatment was going well. And I KNEW, Spade and DI would pick him.

In hindsight, I should have gone with an extremely conventional DDP main team that would have included Hewlett, and Skellern (whose cancer I even mentioned first on the forum!). I would have had a clear one pick advantage.... Ah well...

 

(Edit: I know that Bradley is more soul than blues, but I think there's no real soul music thread...)

Kofi Burbridge (of Tedeschi Trucks Band) suffered a heart attack, but seems like he will make it.
