Just now NPR: Bobby Blue Bland passed away on Sunday.

I remember seeing Bland at Antone's in Austin in 1984. He was losing his trademark growl by then, but still delivered the goods. Grew up with his music since the late 50s. Ah, my world is walking away into a Florida pine forest fog. Bland was 83.
