    New Year’s Eve 1977-78 I was back stage watching Muddy Waters open for ZZ Top. Pine top Perkins was stage right and all the Roadies and I were huddled up watching Pine Top tear up that piano. The Bassplayer slid over and we could hear him say” Pine Top Pine Top settle down, you’re gonna have a heart attack” . I was hooked on the Blues ever since.

    Nobody I have ever heard in my 66 yrs of life equals Johnny Winters!!! He is so unbelievably fast, soulful, creative, sings blues like there's no tomorrow, his riffs n his guitar leads are sooo full n his tone is different from anyone else's. The minute he starts playing you just know that it's Johnny!!!! His style of electric blues is so unique no one can imitate him!!! I have been a devotee of Johnny Winters since 1970, STILL to this day listen to his albums, especially " Saints 'n Sinners" and " Still Alive and Well", and which are my all time favourite classic Johnny Winters albums from 1970, 1971. He is the BEST electric blues master that I have ever heard bar none, n his voice is so rich n rough n melodious, you know he has lived the blues his entire life and his guitar style is one that is incomparable!!! He steps right in to Muddy Waters band and rules it TOTALLY!!!! RIP both Johnny n Muddy, two of the best ever!!!

      I watched the Johnny Winter - Live At Rockpalast 1979, when I was 20 years old, and I had just bought my first colour TV, second hand. Broadcasted in HIFI stereo, all over Europe, In true West-German 'state of the art' quality (also available RUclips, now).
      And a few years before he passed away, I saw him live at a bike festival and drag race in Denmark, where he was warming himself up before a larger gig he had in Copenhagen, later that weekend.
      I watched JW perform in a circus tent and was just a few steps away from him. I got to shoot a few great pictures, too.
      But anyway, yes, I never saw him on this guitar. Maybe he had tried to 'kick the habit', just before this gig... Who knows.

    I don’t hear this type of music on our local radio stations very often or if at all. What a shame, but I can tell you for a fact, something that happened to me that proved the Blues is doing just fine. One night I got lost in Mississippi.A long story short. I ended up having a shotgun pointed in my direction. The man had on an old Atlanta Braves cap on, and a worn out pair of overalls on. He probably stood about 6’3”, arms like logs and they weren’t dancing boots he was wearing… He asked me what my business was on his land ! I said “ Well sir, I’m lost, I’ve been trying to find a ride home. Ya see, my car broke down miles up the road, and I headed this way cuz I thought I heard music playing… The man lowered his gun, gives out the biggest deepest sounding laugh I’ve ever heard… He said “Son, Come with me and I’ll help you out” Then he laughed again. It seemed as if it took forever to reach the old shed.. uh, well, i mean their homestead. I got kind of nervous because there was no one else in sight…. It was quiet, and that Smokey sounding music I had heard stopped… That’s when he looked at me, turned his head toward a pavilion about 50 yards from his home. With that same grin on his face he nodded as if to go on up… That’s when I heard a sudden loud laughter and the music started again. The same type of music I’ve loved to this day… I sat down next to some of the most talented back-woods Bluesman left on this planet… Music and as much food as I could eat… They played, told stories and laughed until the fire embers were barely smoldering… I will never forget that night! The next thing I remember is my Mom shaking my shoulder, telling me to get up for school… Best dream I’ve ever had in my life…. - True Story

    We were at this show on Navy Pier. My friends were more into the beer and craziness that day than the music...so my C-fest memories are few and far away.
    But then later that year Muddy, Johny Winter and Eric Clapton did a concert at the old Chicago Stadium (now United Center). We had primo seats as I'm recalling... ground floor-- close and center. Eric and Johny played - solo---with Muddy and his band and then both Johny Winter & Eric came out together for Muddys encore. At the end of the song Muddy is in the middle of EC & JW and puts an arm around each of them and says, "My sons....my son's". Quite a moment to witness all 3 so emotional🥹

    The thing about Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter is, they were authentic. Yes, they were ambitious also, but were sufficiently self-aware to keep their egos on a leash and respect the music. And for those who think blues is easy -- just three chords -- nothing could be further from the truth. The apparent simplicity of blues is an intelligence test in improvisation among its finest musicians. Johnny, who some idiots think did nor have the right to play blues because he was white, produced three Grammy-winning albums for Muddy Waters, establishing that man's greatness for all time. Not convinced? Listen to an early recording of BB King's "The Thrill Is Gone," a classic in both vocal and guitar. King's seemingly simplistic lead on his Gibson guitar are unrivaled in their austere and sad beauty. If you are not emotionally moved by any of the guys mentioned above, well, you might be happier with some other kind of music.

      What I meant was his guitar playing skill.
      In the 70s and 80s, there are many new guitarists came on to the scene and for the most part, blues guitar was the main focus. Johnny Winter had never been one of those most talked about guitarists.
      If you compare Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan you probably get the sense of what I'm talking about here.

Bouncer says to me there’s a 10 dollar cover charge. This place never has a cover charge,so, I started to argue. Buddy says before you go any further listen to me. Johnny Winters is gonna be playing to practice before his show tomorrow night in Toronto. I never reached my hand into my pocket so fast in my life. I would have payed a lot more. Needless to say I was in heaven till they closed the bar. What a performance. ❤

    Its so good to see Muddy getting the recognition he deserved at the latter part of his career! Every single blues man and rock n roller then and now knows he's the godfather of the Blues. Period. No ifs ands or buts about it. Period. The man was it. Robert Johnson an Son House are close, but never came as close as Muddy did. Muddy was the real deal and took it for all he could and as far as he could. Him an John Lee Hooker are probably the most influential bluesmen of all time. This was long before BB King or Freddy King or Albert King. He'll Jimi Hendrix was playing with Little Richard before Albert King released his first record in 1962. Then Hendrix released his in 66 only 4 years after. A lot of folks don't realize how early Jimi started. That's why he was so amazing. They all are but it really puts it into perspective to know the time lines. Muddy was the first to really do it big. That Delta style blues is just the goods. I love Chicago blues too, but it all started on the plantation. Rest in peace Muddy and Johnny Winter, another blues legend. ✌️🖤🤘
