From the New Orleans 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.
