AP is reporting that blues guitar great Johnny Winter has died in a Zurich hotel room.
“Looks like Jimi is playing a right handed Fender Bronco bass upside down.”
Can’t play it right side up left handed. Probably strung upside down too
You get it. Johnny wasn’t about fame and fortune so much as he was about his chosen style of music. Always one of my favorite stringers
“This just goes to show what a life of drugs (especially heroin) will do to someone.”
The heroin was in the early days, went through a year of rehab. Being an albino has it problems also. He was diabetic to boot. The dude had a ton of baggage other than the early drug abuse. He wouldn’t have lived to be seventy if he continued the early days excesses
RIP John. Thanks for some amazing music.
RIP Johnny
