Red just played a free show at Vancouver Jazz Fest.But local band The Night Crawlers got featured more than Red! A lot of the time he stood there silent, as others got to solo. Was Red's choice not to hog the spotlight? I guess once you're over 80, with a resume stretching back to the '50s, of playing with now deceased Jazz/Blues legends, YOU'RE the living legend, as Red's presented as now! But I saw him mid '70s, a talented but uncelebrated sideman for then celebrated Brit Blues-er John Mayall!
Damn, this was recorded on the day I was born.

He's ginger,
He's fat,
But when Red gets the Blues,
He's one groove-filled cat.
