Johnny Winter by Nelson Onofre
What's up Blues fans! As of today I believe Spring is just about 3 weeks away. Baseball is not far behind, my N.Y. Yankees will go out to defend their title and go for their 28th world championship! This week I am submitting photos of Johnny Winter from his Jan. 18, 2010 show at the BB King Blues Club in New York. This was my second time seeing Johnny. I saw him back in the 70's sometime at Madison Square Garden. Unfortunately like most shows I saw back then I don't remember much about it.
Johnny's band at BB's consisted of Vito Liuzzi on drums, Paul Nelson on guitar and Scott Spray on bass. As expected the band was in fine form and while I enjoyed Johnny's playing I'll use a baseball phrase and say that Johnny has lost a little off his fastball. A couple of guys I had talked with felt the same way but you know what, it's still Johnny Winter. If he happens to come to a venue near you go check out this Texas blues-rocker and give a listen to his latest Grammy nominated disc entitled "I'm A Bluesman"
I am also posting some photos of another blues-rocker, Jon Paris. Jon opened the show for Johnny Winter and has actually toured with Johnny. Jon is a veteran of the New York Blues scene and can be seen every Monday night at Lucille's Grill, for free! Lucille's Grill is right next to the main room at the BB King Blues Club and you can always hear some good bands playing there. Even my last band played there about 9 years ago. Stop by!
Until the next go-round, keep supporting the Blues. As you can see these cats are working hard to lay it down for you.
