Uncle John Turner

[7/4]

As the drummer on those first three Johnny Winter albums, Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter & Second Winter - he changed my life. Those albums were great, they still sound amazing to me today, thirty something years after I first heard them.

obit, rip.

I knew him from the Yahoo Johnny Winter email list, it was a lot of fun doing the email hang.

RIP Uncle John. I bought Second Winter when it first came out and subsequently picked up Johnny's eponymous album too.

I also saw Krackerjack several times at a club called The Abraxas in Waco, Texas back in 1972. Though they were one of my favorite bands that came through town at the time, I didn't realise that SRV was their guitarist! That's interesting because I also saw another of SRV's band called The Storm at my highschool in Fort Worth circa 1970 or 1971. It wasn't until the early 80's that I saw SRV again. Enough about him though. John Turner was a hell of a good drummer. He'll be missed.

It's nice to see Alan Haynes is still around. I used to see him regularly in Houston when I lived in the area.
