How ironically strange! I'd just written a few days ago that I've heard Joe Spivey play fiddle, but I've never really met him or played with him.
Then, yesterday, I was asked to fill in on accordion for a western swing band because their normal keyboard player couldn't be there. So, I show up, and discover that Jerry Krahn, their usual guitarist, couldn't make the gig either and guess who was filling in for him? Yep, Joe Spivey was the sub guitarist. What a nice guy. Met him and his wife. For a guy mostly known around here as a fiddle player, he's a heck of a good guitarist as well.
