- I just browsed your highly interesting collection of lenses and noticed this great memorial to a great blues man. At one point, many years ago, I pitched Gary's music to my old record company in Munich, Germany (they weren't ready for it, though). As a fellow Austinite (from Austin, TX) I had many chances to listen to his soulful playing. He was a wonderful man.
Thanks for honoring Gary with your lens. -Chef Keem
