I sat and watched 'most' of the videos of Joe on YouTube the other day.....including the long one at the Kennedy Center page.

He was a delight and, although he probably would have denied it, he was important. I have most of the Chocolate Drops stuff, and I see Joe's influence all thru their recordings.

I am so glad he had a long and productive life.
