Subject: Obit: Red Shea
Canadian guitarist, Red Shea died in Aurora, Ontario at 70. He was featured on CBC's TV show "Country Hoedown" in the late '50s. He met Gordon Lightfoot on the show in 1960 and in '65 went on to play in the Lightfoot trio and record all of Gordon's records until the early 70's, greatly helping to define that special sound. He also played with Ian and Sylvia's band,'Great Speckled Bird'....later returning to the CBC and The Tommy Hunter Show for many years...
