MY BOYS
Edgar and Johnny Winter: the Early Years. How cool is this picture? Beyond words. Although it still baffles me that Edgar has more sales and game in the history books than the brilliant Johnny. Johnny kicks hard ass.
Did you know albinos can divine gold in the ground? Hell, yes! They're like auric dowsing rods. Don't believe me? Go read your Caldwell, then get back to me.
Damn, I have not thought about them in years. I really, really need to invest in a turntable since I keep lugging all these LP's around.

I've missed several opportunities to see Johnny winter live, and I'm afraid I'll regret it.
I did see the Edgar Winter Band in 1972 or 1973. My friend wanted to get close to the stage to see if he really had pink eyes. I ended up standing in front of a tremendous tower of speakers for over an hour, but couldn't see his face because his hair was so long.
I suffered 20% permanent hearing loss in my left ear that night.
