Johnny was simply one of a kind. I had the pleasure of seeing him play in close-up outdoor venues twice in his later years, and although he was weak in body (he always played seated), his hands and mind for playing were as brilliant as ever.
If there was ever an example of a forgotten great rocker, he must be near the top of the list. It just sickens me that 30 or more years down the road, we are still hearing tripe from bands like Scorpions and never a note from this great rock and bluesman. The general public has bad taste and a short memory.
