Red Shea: lest we forget
Today is the third anniversary of the passing of Red Shea.
Red was Gord's lead guitar player in the early years and made a significant contribution to the sound and structure of Gord's compositions.
Red was in the band with John Stockfish on bass when I first heard them and that first impression will be forever in my mind.
Word has it that Gord's song "Minstrel of the Dawn" was written about Red.
"The Minstrel of the Dawn is here to make you laugh and bend your ear."
That would Red for sure.
RJ.
