Thread Name: Obit: Joe Wilson, Mountain Music (17 May 2015)
Subject: RE: Obit: Joe Wilson, Mountain Music
Well alongside fellow Englishman Mike Yates above I will confirm that there are people that dip in to Mudcat at least on this side of the pond that are interested and can appreciate the fantastic job that Joe did. The Blueridge Music Centre and the Crooked Road projects being just two.
Mike mentions the book and CD's above. I have recommended that book to several fellow Brits who were going over to the Appalachians for the first time and they have found it to be essential.
I don't normally add my name to obituaries but Joe was one of those knowlegeable back-room guys that got things done without a big fanfare and never seems to have received the amount of appreciation that he deserved.
We lovers of the real music of the mountains owe him a great big thankyou.
