re: RIP Johnny Winter

He will be missed. I'm glad I saw him back in 2009 at Jazz Fest. He looked like he had one foot in the grave, but then he started playing and it was incredible. He came alive as long as the music was flowing. Once he stopped playing, he had to be helped to his feet and off the stage. It was as if he existed only to play the blues, and boy could he shred them.
