Photo by Greg Johnson-
Red was a great guy. He and Joe performed a set together this night and the crowd loved it.
Red plays a hard rough version of delta style with allot of chicago influence. Red was taken with Joe's vibrato approach and spent way to much time
for his wife jaming in the back room. Red was taken by Joe's 7 string Stella guitar and asked him to get him one. Red had lost one he had back in the
70's and can't find them in Germany where he lives. Joe is currently searching for a Stella for Red and plans on getting it to him when they visit next
year in Germany. Joe was very proud to introduce, open and perform with this legend.
