Yes, I know a plane crashed, or was shot down. Some folks are saber rattling about another pointless war. This news is terrible. But before the news of this hit, I was already taken aback by other bad news today.
Tonight I am celebrating. A huge influence on my musical carreer. His influences, also influenced me. Most folks don't know him. That's ok. If tonight if I could ask all of you, if you've never heard of him, to look up and give a listen to Johnny Winter. He passed away and the news hit early this morning. I mentioned it at work and not one person... Not a single one ever heard of him. But that's ok. Today they have.
All I'm asking is if you've never heard of him, look him up and give a listen. If you have, well, you know what I'm talking about. Dust off the album and give it a spin.
It's amazing. One of the worlds most influential guitar players, and hardly anyone has ever heard of the man.
I will miss Johnny.
