I believe I have pictures, thanks to Betty, of that "magic moment" that Poobah
is referring to. Sadly I never got to meet Josh in person. I've heard many
stories of how Josh used to invite other reso-players to come up onstage with him
to play a tune. I find that to be the act of a very generous man willing to
share his love for our instrument with others who are still learning.....just a
wonderful thing for Josh to do.
We have lost one of our leaders.
It remains for us to share our love of resophonic guitar with others, as Josh
has done before us. I think that would please Josh, as his spirit lives on
through the music.
