Johnny Winter & Dr. John - In Session 1984

[@nancyekirtley1447]

I knew Johnny and Edgar when I was a teenage girl. I was fascinated by them, I thought they were frost giants. It made John laugh..He was such a sweet guy. I miss him, but Edgar is still with us. I loved them both, they were just so special...

[@jchow5966]

Awwww that is so cool - thank you for sharing your special personal memories of our musical heroes. ☮️💟

[@TexasBurningFlower]

I met Johnny in the eighties, I was about 11-12 years old. My dad used to go down to a bar/grill on the lake. Townes van zany, Blaze floret, Calvin Russell, they would all sit around and jam. Nobody was there. I guess it was their hideaway. That’s when I first heard the blues, and have been in love with it ever since. Being young, I had no idea that I was sitting in on legends. But Johnny winter was different, he was nothing but rock n roll. After the gig was up I would water ski home

[@LiveWireRemoteRec]

This was recorded on Nov 23, 1983 at CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario Canada for an episode of the legendary "In Session" series. I was fortunate to be the recording engineer for the series. Johnny and Dr. John were great to work with that day. Johnny actually went out for lunch with the crew. Told some great road stories about playing the bars in Texas as a teenager.

First and foremost, I’d like to thank you Rev. Bob for what you do for not only music but the musicians as well! I found your posts when looking for music to practice and am a intermediate Blues player. I have lived in both Texas and Louisiana and soaked up as much as I could. You can’t go to either state without immersing yourself in both of these performers and their music. They were The Elite. I will always regret not seeing either of them live but, with people like Rev Bob, they can be enjoyed forever! Thanks again!

Hey Paul, I did the same as you by taking the train from Flushing every weekend to get to The Fillmore East & see what new group was playing. I started going there in 1967 thru 1970. The first concert I ever went to was The Beatles at Shea Stadium c.1965 and the it was the Fillmore. I saw Johnny in 1967 at Hofstra University Sheba he brought his brother, Edgar up to join him. One of my favorite collaborations was Johnny & Rick Derringer...Wow. Two dueling blues rock guitarists going at it which was truly amazing. At 70, I look at the shit that is being played today and thank God I got to see just about every band, group & musician from the mid 60’s on. I wen to Woodstock also and that was another great experience in my life along with seeing Jimi play more than 2 dozen times up until 2 weeks before he died. (Randall’s Island, 8/70). Rock on, brother...

In my humble opinion Mr. Winter was an interpreter of the blues like no other “white” guitarist. The man respected the music and always gave credit to the original artists if he was playing a cover. The emotion he got out of his instrument was unreal. Plus his Texas drawl singing was great.
