Man could he play.

 

Rest in peace.

 

Obvious answer but I've always dug Frankenstein. Always sad to see another go.

 

A big loss for blues players. He had an incredible abandon in his slide playing, I am glad to have seen him twice.

This was one of the high points of the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary show:

"Fankenstein" was his younger (and also albino) brother Edgar.

 

One of my all time favorites.

 

oops, faux pas, I googled Johnny Winter Frankenstein and it came up so I thought I had it right

 

And Charlie Hayden as well.

Frankenstein was done by Edgar (his brother), but yeah sad to see johnny go.

 

Sheesh, I've been paying penance by watching Johnny on YouTube all weekend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry....

 

We are losing our best:

Where's this damn longevity/singularity Kurzweil keeps harping about? I don't see it.

 

Rest in Peace
