We were discussing albino cockroaches in another thread, and I mentioned that I was going to name one either Johnny or Edgar, and wanted to see who could guess the relevance. But rather than prolong the dreaded 'thread drift' there, I started this thread here to note that I was referring (as Kimo knew) to the famous (and infamous) and incredibly talented albino rock star brothers Johnny and Edgar Winters:
Johnny's website is at http://johnnywinter.net/welcome/ and it mentions "He formed his first band, Johnny and the Jammers, in 1959 at the age of 15, with his 12-year-old brother Edgar on keyboards.
(...)
"Johnny begins playing clarinet at age five; switches to ukelele and then guitar a few years later."
Edgar's website is at http://edgarwinter.com/home.php and among all the other information are some great photos of the boys:
Edgar & Johnny as kids: http://edgarwinter.com/pic.php?ImageID=144
As adults: http://edgarwinter.com/pic.php?ImageID=120 and http://edgarwinter.com/pic.php?ImageID=1242 and onstage at http://edgarwinter.com/pic.php?ImageID=1241
I suppose I could put Johnny and, especially, Edgar in that thread about "Celebrities You've Met", but that's another story for another time.
