January 23, 1953 - Robin Zander was born! He would, of course, go on to be the lead singer of Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductees Cheap Trick. I saw Cheap Trick July 12, 1978, at the War Memorial Arena in Johnstown PA. They were opening for Blue Oyster Cult, but more than held their own. This was shortly after they released "Heaven Tonight" and about 10 weeks after the recording of what would be "At Budokan" which made them stars (when released in the US, in early 1979)...
January 23, 1944, Johnny Winter was born! Blues guitarist extraordinaire, and older brother of Edgar Winter. Johnny Winter died in 2014 at the age of 70. I never had the chance to see him live, but he is solidly represented in my music collection.
Which shall I listen to tonight? Or both? Now that would be an odd playlist!
