DOUG MACLEOD:
The first time I met Junior Wells was at 'Concerts by the Sea' in Redondo Beach. And I remember him...bein' so gracious...I think he was workin' with Buddy Guy. And I had worked with Buddy Guy in Sweden with George Harmonica Smith but not Junior Wells. And when I met 'im I shook hands and it was like we were old friends, it was the first time we ever met. And I regret that that was the only time, really, that I really met 'im. I mean, we shook hands after that and said hello. But I'll always remember him as being a very gracious man. ...It would have to be '80, 'cause I was over in Sweden with George and Buddy...in 1980.
...Very gracious---gracious, nice man. Of course, a hell of a harmonica player, a hell of a singer. (7/14/01 AE)
