What a combination. Beth laid it all out on that one. Thanks.
Johnny Winters came to my area and stayed with a local blues band, The Nighthawks. My girlfriend lived up the street, and we saw Johnny's brown van with Texas tags parked in front of The Nighthawks' house. It was a thrill to see him up front and close when he performed at a local spot in Bethesda, MD called the Psychedeli.
How about a little Too Much Seconal by Johnny Winter ---> HERE
Hey Jam--and just who is that Jimmy Thakery gent that played with a band called the Night Hawks--A pretty girl a cadialac and lots of money ,,make a rainy day seem so Sunny-Back in my college years,,I'd drive all over the state to hear that band when Thakery was with them
-On the Bluegrass note--Galax Old Time Festival --2nd week in August in Galax Va --Southwestern Va--6 days of jams--we have a party of 30 camping on new river about 2 miles from the show--we play in the water and sometimes go to the show--or listen to it on XM--it's the biggest blastt of the summer...

Man,we used to go to *ALL* The Nighthawk concerts. They were nonstop partying. We were into dancing back then, and we would dance the night away -- literally.
I was bummed when Jimmy left the Hawks. Their drummer left recently. Mark Winner is the only original one.
How strong is this! The Nighthawks performed in my neighborhood tavern where I grew up, a one-table bar, Hank Dietle's on the Pike, this past December 2012. Be sure to click the video of them at Hank's. ---> HERE

Great to hear that they are still running strong--great band each and every time I EVER saw em..Since your from the area --or how we say from that neck of the woods--ever catch this gent at a show Danny Gatton--in my book one of the best ever

If you can get distracted by lyrics try Booker T and the MGs. One of the first blues-ish cds I purchased.

The only song I can truly say that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing (sitting in a rest stop parking lot outside Sacramento waiting for the old lady in my 1960 Dodge Town Wagon) the first time I heard it was Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman. :thumbup:

Johnny is AWESOME! I remember seeing him and Edgar playing Frankenstein on Ed Sullivan and thinking what amazing musicians they were. If I remember correctly, Edgar played all of the instruments for the studio recording of Frankenstein. I've seen Johnny 3 times live, once with Elvin Bishop in Santa Rosa and twice at the Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR. Last couple of times he had to play sitting down and needed a little help to get on stage and off, but still has that lightning fast fingerwork on the guitar. Brings tears of joy to my eyes when I listen to him...
I remember that era of music, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower, ZZTop, Mountain, Santana, et cetera. Those were some good times!
Ever figured out long it would take to listen to them all "just one more time?"
There was a hell of a Tenor player from that school that came to So. Calif in the mid to late 50's. A guy I knew was playing bass for the original Gerry Mulligan Quarted and we went to South L.A. hear him play. Great jazz school--at least at that time. Hmm, James Clay? It will come to me. Maybe that was it. ???
You got my vote!

Took my son Riggs to Danville Va to an old Theater that was renovated to a blues club to see Johhny Winter and freinds. This was back 5 or 6 years ago. Riggs at that time being aroun 14 years old and already laying down good blues rifts,,he hadn't heard of Johhny Winter at that time--when we came out he said--I didn't realize you were taking me to see the gent that taught Clapton how to play--he was really enthused after that show. Rigss is laying down tracks himself now and has copyrited material and enough recorded for 2 cd's..There's some real good tracks on this--he's doing the bass, drums, keyboard, rthym, harmonica,vocals and lead and slide work. He locks himself up in our Mt home and puts this stuff together--reminds me of when I was his age--locking myself up practicing pool for 2 years before hitting the road back in the early 70's.
Thats the reason I can't tell him to not do the same thing with his music--he just finished Hampdon Syndny college and is making money playing gigs--his band while in school made all of the major universities up and down the east coast doing gigs at frats-I didn't have to give up spending money for the last 3 years from what he was doing making money on the weekends--and he graduated on time,,4 years--beat out both his Mom and Me--I only took 10 years to get my biz degree.
