My Lost Treasure: Johnny Winter

The theme right now on My Lost Treasure is songs with rock in the title.  We will be doing songs with rock and roll in the title for this theme, too, but right now we have been playing the rock songs.  And today Johnny Winter would have been 72 years old.

The last time I saw Johnny Winter was quite a while ago.  Even back then he seemed a little weak to me.  He certainly had some health issues.  So, I don't know why I felt so shocked when he died back in July of 2014.  But I was.  Shocked and very saddened.  It doesn't feel like it was almost two years ago.  I thought it was more recently.  In honor of Johnny's birthday today, I chose an old blues song.  Johnny could play the blues like nobody's business.  Happy  birthday, Johnny, where ever you may be.

If you have a song with rock or rock and roll in the title that you want to hear for My Lost Treasure, pass it along.  Tomorrow we'll be playing a special request for a special friend.  Here's Johnny.
