    The year was 1965 .My parents bought me a new SG Junior.I spent more time sittin on the edge of my bed picking up the phonograph needle over n over an over tryin to learn Johnnys licks. i got his autograph 3 times .Stood outside the tour bus in Santa Cruz Ca. an watched him in the window sittin at the table with a bottle of vodka and a box of Rice Krispys .HE WAS SPECIAL . Now im 65 an Ive been coming here for years to learn from you .YOUR THE BEST Im sure hes smiling down on you. Thank You for sharing all this with us, If everyone was like you the world would be a better place. Sincerely Indian Terry

      @@chriscojeen9804 Chris it must have been close to 4 years ago that I wrote that cuz im 69 y.o. now . But I sure do miss Johnny his rock/blues was like nobody else. Still brings a tear to my eye thinking about him being gone and I havent listened to Tokabilitor in a while because it reminds me of all the good times with my friends that are gone also. My phonograph needle about wore holes thru Progressive Blues Experiment !!! HAHA how bout Johnny in that poncho with a prince valiant hair cut. God love him. Have a Blessed day..... Edgar?? Edgar who??? Yaaaaaah ROCKNROLLLLL !!!!

    Thanks for the upload. You're an amazing player! My hearts heavy today. I probably spent more time listening to JDW than any other artist growing up in the 60s and 70s. Watching you play Rock Me slow mo made me appreciate his talent even more. As an average player, I think it would take me 2 years to learn it like you did. Great vid. RIP JDW. You will always be with us.
