Eagle Park Slim struck up a conversation with me, quite a few years ago, while we were both listening to an act at the Eugene Celebration, hanging on the fence surrounding the stage and paying audience.  He was witty, and as interested in listening as in talking.  Later on I realized who he was, since we didn't trade names.  He was, as we know, a good blues man and entertainer. Eugene has lost an iconic and charismatic citizen.

Thank you R-G and Jeff for reporting on his passing.  Rest in peace, Eagle Park Slim.
