LR 24

This is a vintage photo of Louisiana Red, and perhaps the earliest known photo of him. This was framed and on the wall at Louisiana Red’s home in Hannover. Bob snapped a photo while there for the funeral. We speculate that it was either a high school graduation photo or an early musician publicity photo.
