Here is my wish for the very best to all my LiveBluesWorld friends as we take the music of our heritage into 2009 and the 21st century.
It's an honor to be on this journey with you. ..and a pleasure to be your friend. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the community.
..."true greats" ...are not those born with "golden spoons" in their mouths. ...but those who through "hard work" turn their own "wooden spoons" into "gold".
"...the re-emergence of blues music as serious social commentary."

Dick Deluxe said… - Great story on Johnny-glad to know he is doing so well-Paul Nelson's a real saint! I first saw "If and Then" featuring Johnny and Edgar Winter at my High School CYO dance in the late 60's-some time later Edgar was my band camp counselor at Lamar Tech in Beaumont-right about the time the famous article in Rolling Stone came out and Johnny's career took off. We were so thrilled "our boy" had broken out and can't really describe the excitement at an early 70's JW show in Houston or Austin.
Hopefully ala the work he did with Muddy he will get a chance to record some really great blues to cement his legacy. How great would it be if Rick Rubin did a record with Johnny ala his current project with ZZ Top!
Great insight into Johnny via the bus, etc-good writing man.

jeff dale said… - Hey Sean,
I've had the pleasure and honor of meeting or playing with many legendary blues musicians over the years including Albert King, Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy, Etta James, Lowell Fulson etc etc etc but spending time with my two biggest heroes Muddy and BB were as close as I'll ever get to walking with the gods! Both men showed me nothin but love and i'll always be forever grateful for their kindness and hope i can grow old with the same amount of grace and dignity! Yeah i worship my heroes!

Rev. Jake O'Connor said… - Johnny Winter is probably the most under-rated performer in Blues today. He helped re-kindle the careers of many older blues players and got a lot of younger people (me included) fired up about the Blues. I've opened for him twice, but didn't get to talk to him much. Both times he put on a jaw-dropping performance. His guitar and vocals were powerful and clear, and his steel guitar numbers were the best I've even seen or heard.
I've played Johnny's music at almost every one of the gigs I've played since 1978. I doubt I'll ever get a chance to perform with him, as I had dreamed in my youth, but I get tremendous joy out of playing his music and watching others enjoy it. I hope that in the future he'll be as well respected as Muddy Waters or Wille Dixon.
