Subject: [tftw] Snooks Eaglin RIP
From the Times-Picayune:
Snooks Eaglin, the New Orleans rhythm & blues guitarist known for his dexterous
finger-picking and boundless repertoire, died Wednesday afternoon. He was 72.
"He was the most New Orleans of all the New Orleans acts that are still living,"
said Mid-City Lanes owner John Blancher.
Mr. Eaglin apparently checked into a hospital last week with high blood
pressure, then was released. He returned to Ochsner Medical Center on Tuesday,
and went into cardiac arrest, Blancher said.
