Johnny just turned 60. Accounts of his playing ability in recent years has widely vaccilated. It will be interesting to see how he's faring in 2004....

I don't think Cray is playing with him - a producer associated with Cray was involved in JW's album... |

like I said, Mac Daddy, he's been in kinda of bad shape, physically, the past few years. He sits on a chair and does little singing...and his guitar chops have been "off." Maybe he's better now...dunno..... |

When I saw JW live he was using a cane and just seemed very weak. His band "carried" him musically.
Then, I read that he's had a hip replacement recently. Was that the extent of his illness, or is there more to it? |

Thanks for the heads up 10K. I'm interested in seeing Johnny live. Caught Edgar a few years ago in a Club up in Columbus. Nice night. |
