Wonderful! Thank you for sharing those memories. I too have memories of Big Joe from Chicago starting in 1963. The Late Bob Koester used to host Big Joe along with Sleepy John Estes, Yank Rachell, Little Brother Montgomery, Sunnyland Slim, and anyone else he could scare up and I'd be there every week. Big Joe always made the best music on the worst guitars I'd ever seen. What a treasure he was.
Thank you so much for sharing. Wonderful that a Delta Blues Museum exists. The only time I was ever there was in 1978 and it was good to see the places but there was no real public appreciation of the music, like museums and stuff.
"that thumb thing", it turns out, through several degrees of separation and development since the 1970's, has become part of my primary fingerstyle technique. God Bless Big Joe.
Big Joe is just unbelieveable...great story!!!
yes mam, you´re right - there´s no man like mr. BIG joe ... R.I.P. gone but NOT forgotten.
Congratulations on what you did. As for Big Joe, he is one of my best, since the first time I listened to him and I have several top cds.

So great to see your recollections recorded this way, Libby. Great memories serving a great museum.

So Bob Dylan knew Big Joe when Bob was a kid. Was that in Minnesota?
