Red Simpson performed his original song "I'm A Truck" at Risi's Pond Country Jam Fest 10/2/2011. I'm the guy with the video camera recording Valley Musicians Benefit in Pixley, California. I felt a little awkward as I approached him leaving the stage, but I sure looked forward to meeting him. After introducing myself, I ask Red's permission to put his song on "YouTube". His reply caused me to burst out laughing. Red Simpson told me , while shaking my hand - I could put that video anywhere I wanted! I'll always wonder what he meant by that answer. I gave him the name of our band, Raisin Cane and said we would be on stage later. He even spoke about joining us on stage a little later. Red Simpson , it was an honor to meet you.
