Solution Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted May 21, 2022 Solution Share #14 Posted May 21, 2022 Johnny is older, Edgar is younger. Johnny was a phenom on the guitar, he could shred the neck on a guitar. Edgar was a more talented musician playing multiple instruments very well. They both impacted rock and blues music in important ways. Pretty impressive for a couple of freaks (albinos) from Texas. Johnny Winter was heavily affected by the deaths of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix, who all died at the age of 27. Johnny, 27 as well at the time, took stock of his choices in life (drug and alcohol abuse), cleaned up his act and released the song, Still Alive and Well shortly after, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted May 22, 2022 Share #15 Posted May 22, 2022 Johnny recorded for Alligator Records at the time we were at the record store and Alligator could do no wrong. We played Guitar Slinger to death! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted May 22, 2022 Share #16 Posted May 22, 2022 So if one of the Winters had married Donna Summer, they could have named their daughter, "Summer Fall Winter"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted May 22, 2022 Share #18 Posted May 22, 2022 I met Winter when he, Rick Derringer and Al Yankovic came to a cancer benefit for a child here in my home town. He did so because his performance manager lived here. The benefit included an auction in which we purchased an Al Yankovic shirt, now framed. I had an opportunity to bid on one of Winter's guitars which would have been autographed. I wish I'd won that part of the auction as that would be quite a piece of memorabilia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
