On any given day, in Marissa, IL (4 miles from my home), back in the mid-70's, Joe could be found at Ye Olde Music Shop, talking biz, hanging out with the locals, and usually, upon his arrival, the closed sign would come out, the 70's party favors would be brought out, and anyone lucky enough to be there was in for the fun (think Cheech And Chong). Joe and Bob Heil (inventor of the Heil Talk Box and original owner of Ye Olde, now defunct sadly) are also ham radio enthusiasts and regularly converse on their olde tube sets. God Bless You, Joe, for Rides Again, So What, and Smoker.
