(30 posts)He was great then and we were all so much younger. Long live the BLUES and long live Johnny Winter.
God must love the blues, 'cause now he's got Johnny up there playing with Stevie Ray.

You can definitely tell he and Jimmy Page were worshiping at the same altar(s) ... in particular that of Robert Johnson ... circa 1969 ...
Great stuff. Godspeed, JW ...
