The car had a hood ornament on it and Joe hit his head on that and a ‘teaspoon of his brains came out”. I have no idea if that is true his brains came out, but that’s what I was told. So Joe had pain and was on a lot of pain medication. Back in the 50’s and 60’s they just handed out drugs like candy for pain not knowing a lot about the long term effects. So, my Aunt had a beautiful home. A four plea. Joe Jr. had the recording studio in one of the apartments. He was brilliant with electronics of the day. My aunt gave a bunch of 78 records to my uncle and I have no idea what happened to them, nor do I recall the artists. I do know my uncle Bud Ramsey (Alton Gordon Ramsey jr) recorded there and has records of him playing the banjo. Uncle Bud is in the music hall of fame by the way. Anyway. My dad said Joe Jr. had a few tics, and had a key ring full of keys he would swing around. My mom, joe jr. cousin adored him. My mom died long ago so I never heard her stories. She hung around him a lot when she visited Tennessee after she married my dad in 1950. So joe jr. sold reavis recording company is all I know. His dad, joeseph Reavis passed before him. My aunt was devastated by it all. There are many Ramsey cousins around. Not sure on the Reavis side. Any questions. I can try to answer them.

My grandmother and great uncle recorded at Reavis; one record has The Johnson Sisters on one side. My grandfather was an executive at Capitol, so my family has a lot musical history . Reavis remains a relative mystery to me, but one that I would like to know more about, as it was a huge part of where my grandmother started. I would love any information or stories you can pass along.
