spyder gears
just changed the spyders in my '99 silverado 1500. they were junk@156,000. were they a weak point in the diff? seems i've talked to a lot of guys that have changed them. bought the truck used and always noticed a clunk when i put it in reverse. gotta fill it with gear oil and try it out. maybe reverse clunk is gone. i know the bang it made going around a corner will be gone.

BOLOGNA, Italy, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti described as a 'remote hypothesis' the possibility of Monte Paschi bank being nationalised, when asked to comment on a television talk show on Friday.
Monti was talking to the La7 network as questions grew about central bank oversight of the historic lender following the uncovering of nearly $1 billion of losses in complex derivatives deals.

Every week I do something new to reduce light pollution. Eyes on the Sky is at 650,000+ views so far; more views = more awareness. Please consider sharing with others.
Quote:my sentiment is that astronomers generally spend too much attention on getting large aperture to see faint details in far galaxies, when there is a wealth of dense detail -- nebulae, galactic clusters, giant dust and molecular clouds, star clouds, layered features lying in different spiral arms -- that is available for study in our own galaxy, even with the naked eye. why is this so commonly ignored?i think a large part of that has to do with the pinhole mentality of the catalog list and GOTO mount: we go about looking at specific objects that are only arcminutes wide, at best. the idea that a spacewalk eyepiece is *so* much better than a drinking straw eyepiece obscures the basic fact that they both show you a minuscule fragment of the celestial sphere. put that 17mm 100º $800 tele vue ethos in your 16" ƒ/4 dob and you get to see 0.0024% of the sky at any one time!
Quote: At some point, one has to recognize what it is that draws one to this hobby... For me, it's not the science as much as it is the aesthetics, I just enjoy looking through a telescope/binoculars/naked eye at the night sky... It's just neat being out there under the night sky.
Quote: . . .even better is a collection of telescopes that provide different views on different scales... There is a lot of neat stuff to see... it's neat to look through big scopes, it's neat to look through small scopes and there is a lot to be learned doing both.Jon

Quote: We all enjoy the sky in a different way... I very much enjoy just wandering around and seeing what I can see, figuring out what it is, learning something about it... I don't use GOTO, I view the constellations as part of the road map, sign posts to help me find my way from one part of the sky to another. I am a big believer in using a telescope as an instrument of discovery rather than as tool to go down a list of objects... It's a different paradigm. I mostly work from the sky to the books rather than from the books to the sky. But I have to admit that I think in 2 dimensions... At some point, one has to recognize what it is that draws one to this hobby...

Quote:My telescope has opened up a whole new, exciting world to me; I would not enjoy it nearly as much without my telescope; pinhole mentality? Maybe, but it sure is fulfilling to me. I love to put my 30ES in, and just wander all over the sky, stopping at something that looks interesting.

Quote:we all learn the constellations in our novice steps, and these ingrain certain asterisms in mind as if they are equally distant stars appearing at pretty much their absolute magnitudes.
Quote:constellations only cement the delusion -- all those stars "go together" in a completely arbitrary patch of sky, even though the stars usually have nothing to do with each other and in our minds have only a hazy connection (if any) to the landscape they inhabit.
Quote:perhaps we look at far away objects in isolated and tiny fields of view because ... it is just so much easier to do.
Quote:I have been trying to stay away from this thread, but something keeps pulling me to it. I personally take it a little offensive with your so called "pinhole mentality". If it pleases someone to set up a scope and view the wonders of the sky then so be it.

First and foremost observing love: naked eye.
Second, binoculars.
Last but not least, telescopes.

Quote:The title is probably unnecessarily combative. I think "Beyond the Constellations" would be more accurate. For me, the greatest glory of astronomy is that there are so many different ways to approach it. There had better be! It is, after all, the study of the universe -- literally, everything that is, has been, or ever will be. I find the aesthetic approach, the historical approach, the study of individual objects and stars, and the study of how they fit together, all equally interesting.
"I am the only person to ever ace a 1951 USAF resolution test. My 'to observe' list says 'done'. I do not use charts or atlases when I starhop; men do not use maps. One of my sketches won an SBIG deep sky imaging contest. I am the life of star parties I have never attended. I never say anything looks like a faint fuzzy - not even a faint fuzzy. Pilots aim green laser pointers at me. Don Pensack proofreads my CN forum posts." - The Most Interesting Astronomer in the Universe
Quote:here's another way to approach the issue. it's a simple test: take the test, [but not simple to give the correct answers. And may be contaminated by a correlation to verbal I.Q.] and see how you do. note that these are all "landscape" questions -- none have to do with astrophysics, cosmology, or any other arcane expertise. these are all questions of the type -- "you're in yosemite valley, where is half dome?" [Okay, I'll bite.] if you don't do so well, then perhaps you should give my post a second thought. [Even if we do well your post deserves careful thought.] 1. A novice asks you, "where is the center of our galaxy?" Where do you point, and how far away do you say it is? [Unfortunately novices don't ask questions like these. If they do, say " "Hurry, you'll be late for your class at Cal Tech!"] [Sagittarius, 30,000 ly.] 2. A novice asks you, "in what direction is our rotation around the center of the galaxy taking us?" Where (or at which star) do you point? [Deneb and Gamma Cygni are rotating away from us]. 3. There are 20 bright stars (v.mag. > 2.5) within twenty parsecs of the sun -- our near companions in our galactic journey. Name five. [Alpha Centauri, Vega, Arcturus, 61 Cygni, Sirius.] 4. How many other stars, besides these 20 bright stars, are within 20 parsecs of the sun? [Hundreds So-called "red dwarfs," and "brown dwarfs," not readily visible because of dimness.] 5. The sun is most closely associated with a specific spiral arm of the galaxy. Which one? [Orion arm.] 6. This spirial arm is visible as a large part of the Milky Way. From our viewpoint on Earth, where does this spiral arm appear to start, and where does it end? [Sagittarius to Cygnus. May actually start in Ara or Centaurus or somewhere down there.] 7. What is the closest galactic star cluster to Earth? [Big dipper. Followed by the Hyades.] 8. Where is the closest region to Earth where stars are actively being formed? [Orion nebula.] 9. The Milky Way appears to divide into two bands in what part of the Milky Way? What causes this separation? [Cygnus. Dark clouds of interstellar dust.] 10. What is the farthest part of the Milky Way that we can see from Earth? Where is it, and how far away is it? [Perseus arm, about 20,000 light years. I believe we can't see objects in the External Arm beyond the Perseus Arm, with most amateur telescopes.] i'll wait for some answers (or individual tallies of the number of questions that can be answered), before i post answers of my own. [We may learn something from our wrong answers.] Bill
Quote:indeed, despite your claim to have equal and diverse interests, i note that you prefer to critique rather than build on my post.
Quote:Bruce,A number of points:1. Your gifs are great and show a lot about the sky that other representations don't show. I agree with you that these alternative representations of the sky are valuable. Thanks for posting them.2. You raise very important questions. As far as I can tell, the Herschel 400 I and II, while no doubt valuable and worthwhile, convey little understanding of the structure of our galaxy as a whole. Observing lists in general can have this limitation. So I agree with this part of your thesis as well. 3. The pinhole view is narrow in the sense that one is observing only a small portion of our galaxy. But with my 13 Ethos ( I don't have the 17) in my 16"f/4 Dob the view is perceptually wide, 100 degrees wide. Al Nagler is right about the "grandeur factor." The emotional and perceptual sense of the breadth and vastness of our universe is conveyed in part by these huge visual fields even though in terms of absolute distances they are very narrow indeed.4. There are some guides in the area of galactic structure. Prime among them, and going far beyond Craig Crossen's Binocular Astronomy, is his subsequent book, with Gerald Rhemann, "Sky Vistas" (published by Springer). He devotes great attention to the structure of our galaxy. Another guide is Bill Tschumy's "Where is M13?" I am sure you are familiar with these but my point is that a huge amount can be learned about the structure and content of our galaxy by careful study of these sources, which you have doubtless already done.6. If your thesis is that we need to spent time scanning the Milky Way with binoculars, looking for star clouds, dust lanes, dark nebulae, and OB associations, in order to get an understanding of and appreciation for our own beautiful galaxy, I agree entirely.7. Where I part company with your thesis is as follows: When I look at M17 I enjoy it as an object in itself, but I try also to be aware of where it lies in our galaxy. I value diagrams like "Where is M13" that show it visually. And I devote special attention to objects that are far out toward the Perseus arm, such as the Double Cluster and one or two more distant objects in that direction. I also try to look at objects near the galactic center, such as NGC 6522 and 6528, in Baade's Window, with the realization of where they are; similarly for objects in our Orion Arm. My point here is that viewing individual objects is not exclusive of understanding the galactic structure, and that binocular study, while essential for this purpose, is not the only contributor to this understanding. Knowing where in our galaxy an object is, adds a great deal to the pleasure of observing it and to my understanding of the object and our galaxy. To know that M54, while not outstanding visually, is probably the core of a now dispersed galaxy, enriches the visual experience.I am also very interested in viewing the sky in terms of the absolute brightness of the stars in it. So, I always like to take a look at Zeta 2 in Scorpius, and 6231 is itself one of my favorite objects. And Rho in Cassiopeia, and P Cygni, and Wesen and Aludra in Canis Major.As a related issue, I think the OB associations, especially in Perseus and Scorpius, are much neglected by observers. Perhaps because they are too easy to find and so don't confer much prestige on the observer?Bill Meyers

(d) Full disclosure. No official or employee of the city shall participate, as an agent or representative of the city, in approving, disapproving, voting, abstaining from voting, recommending or otherwise acting upon any matter in which he or she or a relative has a direct or indirect economic interest without disclosing the full nature and extent of the interest.

In addition, section 32-3 is not intended to prevent any official or employee of the city from receiving compensation for work performed on his or her own time as a private citizen which does not involve city business.

These Small Lights
by Yael Zoldan M.A.Chanukah reminds us that we are not the same as everyone else.
Chanukah |
Hanukkah is December 17 - December 24, 2014. The Holiday of Lights - celebrating the miracle of a little oil that lasted eight days, Hanukkah Infographic Cool Videos ABC's of Hanukkah Latkes and Donuts Recipes |
Chanukah reminds us that we are not the same as everyone else.
Our Chanukah candles shone extra-bright last year. That's because they were the only lights in our house.
I was the only Jewish child in the auditorium, and sometimes felt I was the only Jewish girl in the entire world.
My parents succeeded in creating a wonderful Christmas - yet inside me something was amiss.
At a Grateful Dead concert one Chanukah, I felt like the only Jew in the world. Then an amazing thing happened.
A child who sees no difference between the flames of the menorah and the twinkling lights of the tree.
Amidst the pre-Xmas frenzy, a group of idealistic college students unexpectedly discover Chanukah's quiet illumination.
In the midst of a fraternity party, my Jewish spark was unexpectedly ignited.
Chanukah's tiny lights brazenly face the night's bitter challenge, transforming fear into a soft caress of hope.
As a Jew, I was always a little different. That would become my greatest asset.
My parents had no clue why they lit the electric menorah on Chanukah.
Who could do the kazatzky like Mendel? No one, including the Cossacks who guarded the Czar himself.
An American Jewish soldier of Iraqi descent lights the Menorah in Saddam Hussein's palace.
In my time, Chanukah gifts meant only a dime. It also meant potato latkes and a visit to grandma.
God shines Chanukah light into the seemingly darkest place.
Each of us has a dark spot concealed from ourselves due to overwhelming pain and shame. How do we turn on the lights?
How can our homemade menorahs compete with all the dazzling lights of Christmas?

Parallel Lives
Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, written in the late 1st century.[not verified in body] The surviving Parallel Lives (in Greek: Βίοι Παράλληλοι, Bíoi Parállēloi) contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives.[citation needed] It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals biographized, but also about the times in which they lived.[not verified in body]
As he explains in the first paragraph of his Life of Alexander, Plutarch was not concerned with writing histories, as such, but in exploring the influence of character — good or bad — on the lives and destinies of famous men, and he wished to prove that the more remote past of Greece could show its men of action and achievement as well as the nearer, and therefore more impressive, past of Rome.[citation needed] The interest is primarily ethical, although the lives have significant historical value as well. The Lives were published by Plutarch late in life after his return to Chaeronea, and, if one may judge from the long lists of authorities given, must have taken many years in the compilation.[1]
The chief manuscripts of the Lives date from the 10th and 11th centuries; the first edition appeared at Florence in 1517.[citation needed] Jacob Tonson printed several editions of the Lives in English in the late 17th century, beginning with a 5-volume set printed in 1688 and subsequent editions printed in 1693, 1702, 1716, and 1727.[citation needed] The most generally accepted text is that of the minor edition of Carl Sintenis in the Bibliotheca Teubneriana (5 vols., Leipzig 1852-55; reissued without much change in 1873-75).[citation needed] There are annotated editions by I. C. Held, E. H. G. Leopold, Otto Siefert and Friedrich Blass and Carl Sintenis, all in German; and by Holden, in English.[1]
The first pair of lives — the Epaminondas–Scipio Africanus — no longer exists, and many of the remaining lives are truncated, contain obvious lacunae and/or have been tampered with by later writers.[citation needed]
His Life of Alexander is one of the five surviving secondary or tertiary sources about Alexander the Great and it includes anecdotes and descriptions of incidents that appear in no other source. Likewise, his portrait of Numa Pompilius, an early Roman king, also contains unique information about the early Roman calendar.[citation needed]
Plutarch is criticized for his lack of judicious discrimination in use of authorities and the consequent errors and inaccuracies, but he gives an abundance of citations and incidentally a large number of valuable bits of information which fill up numerous gaps in historical knowledge obtained elsewhere.[citation needed] He is praised for the liveliness and warmth of his portrayals and his moral earnestness and enthusiasm, and the Lives have attracted a large circle of readers throughout the ages.[1]
This article may contain inappropriate or misinterpreted citations that do not verify the text. (July 2013) |
Plutarch structured his Lives by alternating lives of famous Greeks ("Grecians") with those of famous Romans. After such a set of two (and one set of four) lives he generally writes out a comparison of the preceding biographies. The table below links to several on-line English translations of Plutarch's Lives;[1] see also "Other links" section below. The LacusCurtius site has the complete set; the others are incomplete to varying extents. There are also four paperbacks published by Penguin Books, two with Greek lives, two Roman, rearranged in chronological order, and containing a total of 36 of the lives.
Key to Abbreviations[edit]
- D = Dryden
Dryden is famous for having lent his name as editor-in-chief to the first complete English translation of Plutarch's Lives. This 17th-century translation is available at The MIT Internet Classics Archive.
These translations are linked with D in the table below; those marked (D) in parentheses are incomplete in the HTML version.
- G = Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg contains several versions of 19th-century translations of these Lives, see: http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/authrec?fk_authors=342 and http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/14114
The full text version (TXT) of the English poet, Arthur Hugh Clough's translation is available (via download) at Gutenberg.
These translations are linked with G in the table below.
- L = LacusCurtius
LacusCurtius has the Loeb translation by Bernadotte Perrin (published 1914‑1926) of part of the Moralia and all the Lives; see http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/home.html
These translations are linked with L in the table below.
- P = Perseus Project
The Perseus Project has several of the Lives, see: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cache/perscoll_Greco-Roman.html
The Lives available on the Perseus website are in Greek and English according to the Loeb edition by Bernadotte Perrin; and/or in English according to an abbreviated version of the Thomas North translations[2]. This last edition concentrates on those of the Lives Shakespeare based his plays upon: Thomas North's translation of most of the Lives, based on a French version published in the 16th century, preceded Dryden's translation mentioned above.
These translations are linked with P in the table below.
- Notes
- ^ The last line of the table contains the four "unpaired" lives, as mentioned above.
- ^ The Perseus project also contains a biography of Caesar Augustus appearing in the North translation, but not coming from Plutarch's Parallel Lives: P
- ^ Though the majority of the Parallel Lives were written with the Greek hero (or heroes) placed in the first position followed by the Roman hero, there are three sets of Lives where this order is reversed : Aemilius Paulus-Timoleon, Coriolanus-Alcibiades and Sertorius-Eumenes.
- ^ At the time of composing this table there appears some confusion in the internal linking of the Perseus project webpages, responsible for this split in two references.
Chronology of the lives[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2013) |
The following chronology of legendary and historical figures whose biographies appear in the Lives is organized by date of death, as birth dates in antiquity are more often uncertain. All dates are BC except Galba and Otho.
- ^ a b c Rines, George Edwin, ed. (1920). "Lives, Parallel". Encyclopedia Americana.

Just wanted to let all the Weezer fans out there (young and old) that this Saturday's show at the Del Mar Race Tracks is 18 yrs and older. This really sucks for all the younger fans that were able to go last year and can't this year. And it sucks even more for the parents that would have gone with their kids too!
I contacted the Race Track and they said the reason they decided to make all weekend shows 18 yrs and older is because of the problems & complaints they would get from people/parents who went to the Ziggy Marley shows because of the people that type of show draws....so is Del Mar comparing Weezer to Ziggy Marley?!?! Wonder if Weezer or their management is aware of this??

Kimpton Hotels are fabulous, and I'm always satisfied by their cleanliness, customer service, and decor. This hotel had a decent location that was within walking distance to the Metro. We were also able to walk to the White House without the need for Metro or a taxi. Overall, it was a wonderful hotel with a good location to the White House, Washington Monument, and Smithsonian's. ...

Overall this was a nice hotel but definitely geared more toward adults. Close to attractions, rooms were very spacious and clean. Staff was friendly but several desk staff did not seem to know the area very well when asked for recommendations for restaurants etc. Parking cost almost as much as the room.

I was disappointed in the cost of parking. Most places were
xxx a night, this hotel was xxx. The roll away that we needed was an extra $25, which we did not rent. The room was huge, but very empty. The bed was terrible and the bathroom was tiny.

Love this hotel. Highly recommend. We walked daily to the mall, White House, and capital. Very safe neighborhood. I parked nearby using Parking Panda to avoid the

Summary: |
Regarding query: http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-2988.html#1
Recently I posted a query on linguistlinguist regarding the phonology of St.Lucian English received very insightful information from a few linguists. My heartfelt thanks go out to: Jeffery ALlen Dr.Martha Isaac Edward Mitchell Paul Garrett Kansai Guy The following were recommended for information on St.Lucian French Creole phonology: Lawrence Carrington (1984). St.Lucian Creole: A descriptive analysis of its Phonology and Morpho-Syntax. Jeffery ALlen. (1994. Sainte-Lucie: reflexification, décréolisation,recréolisation ou adlexification? Doctoral thesis, Département des sciences du langage et Centre de Recherche Linguistiques et Sémiologiques . Université Lyon 2, 183 pages. The latter also contains information regarding the phonology of St.Lucian English. Jeffery Allen however provides more of a sociolinguistic perspective of the St.Lucian languages in: Jeffery Allen. (1992). Sainte-Lucie: Description sociolinguistique d'une île antillaise. Département des sciences du langage. Université Lyon 2, 111 pages. Equally insightful, but within the field of Anthropological Linguitics is work by Paul Garrett: Paul Garrett. (2003). An English Creole that isn't: On the sociohistorical origins and linguistic classification of the vernacular English St.Lucia. In Michael Aceto & Jeffery Williams (Eds.), Contact Englishes of the Caribbean. Paul Garrett. (2000). ''High Kwéyòl'': The emergence of a formal Creole register in St.Lucia. The work of David Frank, as well as John Amastae and Pauline Christie was also recommended. (Amastae and Christie have worked extensively on Domincan Creole).

After all that trash he talked when it comes to Madden 09, Bow Wow really had to bow down to Game when the Compton rapper took the $100,000 prize money (donated to a charity of his choice) in their recent face off. Did Game cheat? Did this beat watching the VMAs? Probably a positive response to both of those questions.
Bow Wow vs. Game: Madden '09 game tonight for $100K
With all this talk about a recession, this story might be kind of offensive. The Game and Bow Wow will finally see who's the best "in the world" at Madden NFL '09 for a $100,000 prize. The meeting is scheduled to take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at a secret location. They reportedly will have a weigh-in ceremony like a real boxing match hosted by hip-hop gaming company Konsole Kingz. Who do you have your money on (if you care)? Additional reporting by Rashaan Meador

John Dawson Winter III (born February 23, 1944) — known as Johnny Winter — is an American blues guitarist, singer, and producer. Best known for his high-energy blues-rock albums and live performances in the late 1960s and '70s, Winter also produced three Grammy Award-winning albums for blues legend Muddy Waters. Since his time with Waters, Winter has recorded several Grammy-nominated blues albums and continues to tour extensively. In 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and in 2003, he was ranked 63rd in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".[1]
Early career[edit]
Johnny Winter, along with his musician brother Edgar Winter (born 1946), were nurtured at an early age by their parents in musical pursuits.[2] Both Johnny and his brother, who were born with albinism, began performing at an early age. When he was ten years old, Winter appeared on a local children's show, playing ukulele and singing Everly Brothers songs with his brother.
His recording career began at the age of fifteen, when his band Johnny and the Jammers released "School Day Blues" on a Houston record label.[2] During this same period, he was able to see performances by classic blues artists such as Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Bobby Bland. In the early days Winter would sometimes sit in with Roy Head and the Traits when they performed in the Beaumont, Texas area, and in 1967, Winter recorded a single with the Traits: "Tramp" backed with "Parchman Farm" (Universal Records 30496). In 1968, he released his first album The Progressive Blues Experiment, on Austin's Sonobeat Records.[3]
Signing with Columbia Records[edit]
Winter caught his biggest break in December 1968, when Mike Bloomfield, whom he met and jammed with in Chicago, invited him to sing and play a song during a Bloomfield and Al Kooper concert at the Fillmore East in New York. As it happened, representatives of Columbia Records (which had released the Top Ten Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills Super Session album) were at the concert. Winter played and sang B.B. King's "It's My Own Fault" to loud applause and, within a few days, was signed to reportedly what was then the largest advance in the history of the recording industry—$600,000.[2]
Winter's first Columbia album, Johnny Winter, was recorded and released in 1969. It featured the same backing musicians with whom he had recorded The Progressive Blues Experiment, bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Uncle John Turner, plus Edgar Winter on keyboards and saxophone, and (for his "Mean Mistreater") blues legends Willie Dixon on upright bass and Big Walter Horton on harmonica. The album featured a few selections that became Winter signature songs, including his composition "Dallas" (an acoustic blues, on which Winter played a steel-bodied, resonator guitar), John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson's "Good Morning Little School Girl", and B.B. King's "Be Careful With A Fool".
The album's success coincided with Imperial Records picking up The Progressive Blues Experiment for wider release. The same year, the Winter trio toured and performed at several rock festivals, including Woodstock. With brother Edgar added as a full member of the group, Winter also recorded his second album, Second Winter, in Nashville in 1969. The two-record album, which only had three recorded sides (the fourth was blank), introduced a couple more staples of Winter's concerts, including Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" and Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". Also at this time Johnny entered into an intimate, albeit short-lived affair with Janis Joplin which culminated in a concert at New York's Madison Square Garden where Johnny joined the then reigning Queen of R&R on stage to sing and perform.
Unofficial albums[edit]
Contrary to urban legend, Johnny Winter did not perform with Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison on the 1968 infamous Hendrix bootleg album Woke Up This Morning and found Myself Dead from New York City's Scene Club. According to Winter, "...I never even met Jim Morrison! There's a whole album of Jimi and Jim and I'm supposedly on the album but I don't think I am 'cause I never met Jim Morrison in my life! I'm sure I never, never played with Jim Morrison at all! I don't know how that [rumor] got started."[4]
Beginning in 1969, the first of numerous Johnny Winter albums was released which were cobbled together from approximately fifteen singles (about 30 "sides") he recorded before signing with Columbia in 1969.[2] Many were produced by Roy Ames, owner of Home Cooking Records/Clarity Music Publishing, who had briefly managed Winter. According to an article from the Houston Press,[5] Winter left town for the express purpose of getting away from him. Ames died on August 14, 2003 of natural causes at age 66. As Ames left no obvious heirs, the ownership rights of the Ames master recordings remains unclear. As Winter stated in an interview when the subject of Roy Ames came up, "This guy has screwed so many people it makes me mad to even talk about him."[5]
Johnny Winter And[edit]
In 1970, when his brother Edgar released a solo album Entrance and formed Edgar Winter's White Trash, an R&B/jazz-rock group, the original trio disbanded. Johnny Winter then formed a new band with the remnants of The McCoys—guitarist Rick Derringer, bassist Randy Jo Hobbs, and drummer Randy Z (who was Derringer's brother, their family name being Zehringer). Originally to be called "Johnny Winter and The McCoys", the name was shortened to "Johnny Winter And", which was also the name of their first album.[2] The album included Derringer's "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo" and signaled a more rock-oriented direction for Winter. When Johnny Winter And began to tour, Randy Z was replaced with drummer Bobby Caldwell. Their mixture of the new rock songs with Winter's blues songs was captured on the live album Live Johnny Winter And. It included a new performance "It's My Own Fault", the song which brought Winter to the attention of Columbia Records.
Winter's momentum was throttled when he sank into heroin addiction during the Johnny Winter And days. After he sought treatment for and recovered from the addiction, Winter was courageously put in front of the music press by manager Steve Paul to discuss the addiction candidly.[2] By 1973, he returned to the music scene with the release of Still Alive and Well, a basic blend between blues and hard rock, whose title track was written by Rick Derringer. His comeback concert at Long Island, N.Y.'s Nassau Colliseum featured the "And" line-up minus Rick Derringer and Bobby Caldwell. Performing on stage was also Johnny's wife Susie. The follow-up album, John Dawson Winter III featured "Sweet Papa John," a highly-dubbed slow blues number written by Johnny, which also appeared in an extended version on the later issued "Captured Live." Saints & Sinners, continued the same direction; this was followed by another concert set, the aforementioned Captured Live!, which featured an extended performance of "Highway 61 Revisited". In 1975 Johnny returned to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to produce an album for Thunderhead, a local band which included Pat Rush and Bobby "T" Torello, who would later play with Winter.
Muddy Waters sessions[edit]
In live performances, Winter often told the story about how, as a child, he dreamed of playing with the blues guitarist Muddy Waters. In 1977, after Waters' long-time label Chess Records went out of business, he got his chance.[2] Winter brought Waters into the studio to record Hard Again for Blue Sky Records, a label set up by Winter's manager and distributed by Columbia. In addition to producing the album, Winter played guitar with Waters veteran James Cotton on harmonica. Winter produced two more studio albums for Waters, I'm Ready (with Big Walter Horton on harmonica) and King Bee and a best-selling live album Muddy "Mississippi" Waters – Live. The partnership produced three Grammy Awards for Waters and an additional Grammy for Winter's own Nothin' But the Blues, with backing by members of Waters' band. Waters told Deep Blues author Robert Palmer that Winter had done remarkable work in reproducing the sound and atmosphere of Waters's vintage Chess Records recordings of the 1950s. The albums gave Waters the highest profile and greatest financial successes of his life.
Later career[edit]
After his time with Blue Sky Records, Winter began recording for several labels, including Alligator, Point Blank, and Virgin, where he focused on blues-oriented material.[2] In 2004, he received a Grammy Award nomination for his I'm a Bluesman album. Beginning in 2007, a series of live Winter albums titled the Live Bootleg Series and a live DVD have all entered the Top 10 Billboard Blues chart. In 2009, The Woodstock Experience album was released, which includes eight songs that Winter performed at the 1969 festival. In 2011, Johnny Winter released a new studio album titled Roots on Megaforce Records. It includes Winter's interpretation of eleven early blues and rock 'n' roll classics and features several guest artists (Vince Gill, Sonny Landreth, Susan Tedeschi, Edgar Winter, Warren Haynes, and Derek Trucks).
Winter has continued to perform live, including at festivals throughout North America and Europe. He has headlined such prestigious events as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, the 2009 Sweden Rock Festival, The Warren Haynes Christmas Jam, and Rockpalast. He also performed with the Allman Brothers at the Beacon Theater in New York City on the 40th anniversary of their debut. In 2007 and 2010, Winter performed at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festivals. Two guitar instructional DVDs have been produced by Cherry Lane Music and the Hal Leonard Corporation. The Gibson Guitar Company released the signature Johnny Winter Firebird guitar in a ceremony in Nashville with Slash presenting.
Winter produced three Grammy Award-winning albums by Muddy Waters, Hard Again (1977), I'm Ready (1978), and Muddy "Mississippi" Waters – Live (1979). Several Winter albums were also nominated for Grammy Awards.[6] In 1980, Winter was on the cover of the first issue of Guitar World and in 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame. There was a character in the video game Heavy Rain named after Winter.
In 1996, musicians Johnny and Edgar Winter filed suit against DC Comics and the creators of the Jonah Hex: Riders of the Worm and Such limited series, claiming, amongst other things, defamation: two characters named the Autumn Brothers in the series strongly resemble the Winters.[7] In 2003, the Supreme Court of California sided with DC.[8]
Throughout his career, Johnny Winter has been dogged by bootleg recordings and unauthorized re-releases of singles from his early pre-Columbia Records days. According to one biographer, only about fifteen percent of Winter's commercially-available recordings are legitimate, leaving 85 percent that he had no control over.[2] Some of the releases were doctored with later overdubs by other musicians. Royalties were not Winter's primary concern, "I just don't want that bullshit out ... It's just bad music".[2] The following lists Johnny Winter's official albums.
