I used to secretly like Johnny Winter and his brother. Secretly because they (and Rick Derringer IIRC) were all idolize by my friends and I tended to avoid going along with what everybody else did or thought. But I did manage to get to all the concerts invovolving any of the above.
Anyway, Johnny Winter has died, apparently.
Have you read the breakthrough novel of the year? When you are done with that, try:

I was and stayed a big Johnny Winter fan. I enjoyed his blues much more than his rock and roll. He was just here in Kalamazoo a few weeks ago and family issues had me away at the time.
Side note on Rick Derringer: apparently he has turned into a major born again christian. I think he’s still performing: wonder if he still plays “Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo”?
I worked at a stadium where Johnny played, and he was pretty cool. A friend described him as “Elric with tattoos & a guitar.” I was always more interested in his brother’s music though. Frankenstein is on my list of groovy morning pick-me-up music.

I’ve seen them play Frankenstein together with RD.
