Someone Always Thought Of It First!

I found this the other day and it was like looking at a vision of what was to come if you were transported back to 1975.

I know Synthesized music was well under way in the 1970's but it's his standing up with the synth on a strap like a Geeeetar that makes it look like something you would more associate with the 1980's.

My knowledge of Edgar Winter is near non existent and I only know he had a brother called Johnny.

Good though, Innit?

Johnny still tours and is hailed as one of the best blues acts out there by some people.  He comes through here every two years or so and plays at the biggest bar in the area.  I think it was in the early 80's that he convinced Muddy Waters to do an album and he produced and appeared on it.  Edgar was in Johnnys band way back in the early 70's but split to persue his progressive jazz/pop thing.  Also check out "Freeride".  "Frankenstien" was a juke box staple in every bar around here when it came out.

Love Frankenstein! Edgar played sax on "All Revved Up" by Meat Loaf.
