Johnny winters is d3ad at age 70

Winters was in reality the whitest man to ever play the blues due to his albinism.  I enjoyed his work and actively listened to him a few years back.

I briefly dated a stripper who had been a groupie for Johnny Winter. That must have been an odd sight.

I remember him being into heroin in the late 60's or early 70's. It was pretty scandalous at that time.

Great musician.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I remember when I picked up a copy of his "Progressive Blues Experiment". It was a revelation for me.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Bob F, thanks for mentioning Jonny Lang. I can't believe, with all the guitar forums I frequent, that I hadn't heard of him. He's fantastic.
