Legendary blues guitarist Johnny Winter has passed away while visiting Europe, he was 70 years old. Johnny was my real introduction into the blues when i was a teenager. his blistering fast solos and slide work is still impressive to this day. i  was fortunate enough to see him many times over the years, last time in 2010 at Eric Clapton's Cross roads guitar festival. he played a  foot stomping set accompanied by  some of the best guitarists of today. when his set was over the entire stadium gave him a long standing ovation. it was a moment i will always cherish.

This is the 1st song  i ever heard by him

and have been a fan ever since

Bye Johnny and say hello to Muddy Waters for me
