JOHNNY WINTER

Today I learned of another Rock N Roll Legend that has passed. JOHNNY WINTER died at 70  after performing 4 days ago in Switzerland. I had the opprtunity of meeting him 3 times over the past 25 years and we all noticed that his health has been failing over the past few years. Many times he was wheeled to stage in a wheelchair , on oxygen and the music was not always up to the standards that he wanted himself.  He went to different venues here in the States in a camper and many times after the show his manager would take a few items into the camper after his performance and would sign with out any complaints. When he signed because of his failing eyesight he would keep his head only a few inches from the item he was signing and Many of witnessed this during a signing at a local record store last year. BUT I would to emphasize that during the height of his fame and popurality in the 60;s thru the 80's he genuis on the the guitar was outstanding and energy he played and exhibited on the stage was amazing. We have lost another piece of Rock N Roll History here with us but he now has joined Heavens Musical Legends and I know they will welcome him to jam with them everyday. We Will Miss You Johnny
