Not sure what to say?

I love and miss you always and forever m

I met him at an outdoor concert one of the highlights of my life. He was genuine! The real deal!

I met him in Chicago on 71st and Perry. His daughter was my friend

James Cotton was a man who really knew what to do with the harmonica. I enjoyed him so very much. Will be missing him so much. Rest in peace Mr. Cotton.

My condolences to the Cotton Family. It was meant to be that I met and worked with his son-in-law Ron Hampton and met his daughter Tressia. Eventually going to two concerts and meeting James. Thank you Tressia for giving me your copy of his last CD, at the after show signing. Bonnie Blue became my newest favorite song. Thank you for the great blues harmonica I've enjoyed from the 60's and still do today. You will be missed by many but you left a legacy.

Miss you like crazy. Love baby girl

Marsha Cotton
