Horrible disease. Speaking from personal experience, ALS and Alzheimers are just torture and heartbreaking to see someone you love or admire go through. And now we are losing the experience of seeing and hearing Marcia Ball ever again to this fucking disease. 

Prayers for her and her loved ones. This sucks.

a college girlfriend of mine; her dad was this short, wiry Italian guy...completely full of shit (in a good way), with a hot italian temper, kind heart, etc. Avid golfer, great dad.

He came down with ALS.  I cannot imagine a bigger mismatch between man and affliction.  his passing was a blessing to all that knew him, because seeing him in that condition was difficult.

One of my closest cousins’ husband died of ALS a few years ago. That dude was an incredible guy. Horrific disease.

I see Marcia is 76. Isn’t that quite a bit later in life than normal for ALS diagnosis. Seems most men get it in their 50’s.

That's sad news about Marcia Ball.  She certainly knows her way around the keyboard.  Would play up a storm while kicking one of her crossed legs to the rhythm.

Power of Love was our wedding song back in ‘92.

Speaking of weddings, I once saw her play a wedding reception.  The groom (who was a friend of a friend) absolutely loved Marcia Ball's music, so they came up with enough $ to get her to play the reception.  Unfortunately, things got cut short when the groom hurt himself dancing during the festivities.
