Somehow in all the holiday commotion, I missed the fact that Son Seals died. As with all bluesmen it seemed like he'd been around longer than his actual allotted span; just 62 isn't much at all. Inspirational note from his obit: "In 1997, Mr. Seals was shot in the jaw by his wife, whom he later divorced, and in 1999, complications from diabetes led to the amputation of part of his left leg. But he continued to perform until two months ago. He is survived by a sister, Katherine Sims of Chicago, and by 14 children.
"We try and make everybody feel good," he once told an interviewer."
