Indian Joe

Description: Dan McGlones transcribed interview of Brian Jones about Indian Joe. According to Jones, Indian Joe had a hat with a band of charms. One of the charms was used for healing. He could pass the charm over any part of your body that was bleeding and say some magic words and you would stop bleeding. When he died, someone stole the hat and hat band. They found the hat on a man who had bled to death through his ears.
