I sooooo enjoyed the show last night in Ft. Lauderdale!!! I wanted to go back after the show and say "hi" to you guys. However, my friend had hurt her knee that afternoon and was in a lot of pain having to stand for the entire show. Y'all hurry back!
Hey Thanks so much for adding that solo .. that is so crazily good.. soooooo good.. and.. can you find a minute to explain the history of LITTLE THING?? whenever you find a second or so?? Thanks.. I wish you could find all your solos.. I used to have them all.. in a place.. But Time flies.. feathers renew themselves.. etc... Such a great soloist you are.. my gosh.. no roof for us who hear your solos..
That was so nice to be able to follow your progresses through the last you tube the sound was excellent for your section.. intro.. for the rest, a little different. Sure nice to hear your playing again, it's been a very long time... HI, from Vancouver..
The Johnny Winter shows (3 of 'em and not enough!) I saw this week were among the very best I've ever seen and I've been following the ol' boy steadily since 1971. His band featuring Paul Nelson (a master shredder himself), Vito Luizzi (drums) and Scott Spray (bass) are in my humble opinion is the best band he's had in 30 years and they've been driving Johnny to new heights. The music is beyond awesome and the band is like a possessed speeding train that can't be stopped! Johnny has never been more on top of his game and the shows have to be seen and heard to be believed! There is some serious Blues and Rock and Roll here and some of the best playing I've heard in a loooooong time! SEE THESE GUYS!!! I'd like to also thank Paul, Marian, Vito, Scott, Mojo and Johnny for some great hangs and contributing to one of the best Summers I've had in a very long time. The fun never ends in Winterland!
P.S. - No promises, but I'll try to bring R.W. to one of the shows next month. We shall see.
