Following the very wonderful experience of an extended afternoon invitation to visit and play a few tunes with the very talented Paul Bartlett after things had settled down following the Massey shows, my hand went into the bowel of thirst looking for the Red Shea sound in my collection of Gord's material. Paul is a student of Red and he's the guy playing the lead guitar in the pub video. Unfortunately we didn't have a sound person with us to balance things out in the pub and Paul's guitar seemed a tad low and it was just a pot luck thing anyway. But that afternoon was a most pleasurable experience and to have an opportunity to be complimented by such a refined guitarist and perfect gentleman was a wonderful way to wind things down after such a memorable occasion. But I took particular note on the "Harmony" recording of "Flyin' Blind" not only because Red Shea plays the lead guitar on that tune but also Gord is listed as the playing the synthesizer. I love the tune, so Paul if you read this when we get together again, I'd like to give that one a shot my friend. Cheers, Ron.
