YEAH! see ya there
Hey Johnny!
I’m a HUGE fan! Been groovin’ on your licks since I was in 8th grade (1973).I’ve seen many famous guitarists but you are by far the greatest. I’ve seen you in person many, many times. Unfortunately the last time was at Bogarts in Cincinnati, Ohio on your “Guitar Slinger” Tour. Got a front row table at that one. It was the best time. I’m back home in the Land of my ancestors (North Carolina). I was wondering why you don’t do more Southern Gigs. All I saw was Dahnolega, Georgia and Biloxi, MS. You’re a native Southerner too. Right? Beaumont, Texas I believe. We have “The Double Door Inn” here in Charlotte, NC. It’s a Blues club.
I’m going to try to see that Georgia gig if at all possible. Keep on jammin’.

I came home one night at 9:30 and saw some wonderful
guy singing and playing the guitar on our PBS channel. I wondered how I had missed this person for so many years. I was mesmerized by him. Three weeks later I decided I could afford $225 for the 2007 Eric Clapton guitar festival CD and also make a charitable contribution. That was the only way I knew to see this wonderful person again. I described him to my son and he told me his name. Johnny Winter has made my life more enjoyable. Lavon Gilbert
Boy, Talk about a living legend! I’ve been a fan of Johnny’s since the early ’70s when I first attended a live concert in my home town Madison, WI. Went to see him every time since. I get so angry when the music media, musicians famous and not so famous talk about the greatest guitar slinger that ever lived when they don’t mention Johnny’s name. When you listen to (won’t mention any names) the popular great ones and I love them all, I see so much of Johnny’s influence in their playing. I’ve wanted to get this off my chest for many years. I’ve been a professional guitar player for over 50 years. I think there are many others who would agree with me. I mean this as the greatest compliment that I could pay to him, “Johnny Winters” is the blackest white boy I have ever heard play the blues”. I can never get enough Johnny Winters. I plan on purchasing anything put out by him and his asssociates. Frank James
Johnny Winter has to be every year at the crossroad festival !!!!! That “guy” is a LEGEND !!!!
We all love ya Johnny …..
