I've always felt that Red Shea was probably not as known or appreciated in the States as he should have been. He was a master at his craft and contributed much of the guality guitar work I associated with Gordon Lightfoot in his earlier, acoustic period. Yet, I seldom saw his name in the "best of" lists which pop up from time to time. Moreover, he was a mentor and a CBC stalwart, in addition to all the tracks to which he contributed. At 67, I think of 70 as way too young for Red to have to embark on the ultimate road trip. Thanks for great acoustic memories, Red. Bon voyage!
