I got to talk with Gordon for a short time about Red in Little Rock. He was very sad that Red had passed and had great praise for him. He said, "We're talking about a guy here, who was such a great guitarist and was such a sought after teacher, that he had a hard time fitting them all in. He always had more students than he could handle. He was a wonderful guy and raised up some fine kids and we miss him. We're very sad that he left us."

Red obviously meant a lot to Gord. Of course, he means a lot to all of us too. Red was very expressive in his playing. He brought things to Gordon's music that have made it unique and powerful. Put the headphones on one day and listen to IYCRMM underneath the string arrangement. That is one beautiful piece of guitar work.

Here's to Laurice Milton Shea!
