South Plains College instructor of bluegrass and prominent Mel Bay author Joe Carr passed away today. Joe was a beautiful guy and an important figure in the history of bluegrass and early country music. We hosted an interview with Joe in 2013 and it's particularly sad for my wife and myself as we met in Levelland at Alan Munde's house late 1993 and Joe was always someone we enjoyed seeing and visiting with over the years.
On behalf of the Mandolin Cafe and our community we extend our condolences to Joe's family and friends.
