My father was a huge blues fan and would often play records some evenings. I recall him speaking fondly of Johnny Winter. RIP

He and his brother... fabulous, and fabulously underrated. Another legitimate talent lost, as we are left in a culture of auto-tune and sampling. RIP JohneH!

So true, so true. Johnny and Edgar together, 1970.
