Volunteer DJ Atomic Mama here … Have any Older Dopers out there ever met or seen or heard Jimmy Reed? Live? On record?
His music was always “around.” I interviewed him for my radio show way-back-when, saw him live a couple of times in Chicago (ghetto clubs), worked with one of his earlier “managers” Al Smith (as his “secretary” - the gig lasted less than three days), and met another DJ promoter Bill Tyson at the near-close of Jimmy’s career.
If you have memories, I’d love to read them. Thank you.
