JERRY LEE LEWIS OFFICIAL WEBSITE
JERRY LEE LEWIS OFFICIAL WEBSITEThe Killer ! was there at the beginning and in movies you always see the crowd goin' crazy when Jerry Lee starts rockin'& rollin'.....well it really was exactly like that whenever the Killer came to town !!!!!
James Brown Homepage
James Brown HomepageThe legendary Godfather of Soul was always on the R&R shows billing during the Murray the K R&R show era. He got the audience dancin' in the aisles. I personally use to think Chuck Jackson would steal the show from JB when they were on the same bill but he has not outlasted this icon of R&R Soul !!!!!

Gizoogle - Transizlatin' Page - http://thewizardofrockandroll.blogspot.com/Some strange site I found at Major Geeks >com....so I hope the Wizzard didn't totally screw anything up !!!
POCO | Official Website
POCO | Official WebsiteThe Wizard had the good fortune to catch the original band at THE PEACHTREE FESTIVAL in Rocgingham ,NC. way back when.....these guys kicked ass and blew away the 100,000 people at the track !!!!! It was called a mini-Woodstock and the Wizard's first real big outting into the world of hippies in the land of the redneck.....believe it or not ,it went pretty smooth !!!!!
KENNY LOGGINS
This site below is pretty much dedicated to his solo career....but
fear not my fellow travelers on the Yellow Brick Road.....the Jim
Messina webpage has more on their famous collaboration !!!
Kenny Loggins
Kenny LogginsNot as much reference to his former duet status as Jimmy Messina's partner in LOGGINS & MESSINA but that maybe due to him having more substantial musical contributions as a solo performer.....He seemed to have a good run with musical numbers in a few really big movies that his songs became big hits too !!!!
LOGGINS & MESSINA
Seperately two talented musicians .....together one of the Wizard's
favorites !!!!!
Jim Messina - Loggins & Messina
Jim Messina - Loggins & MessinaI'm sure Kenny Loggins hashis own site and the Wizard will check it in a few minutes to let you know.....I posted this site first, since it referred me to the duo.....got to see them in concert in Norfolk , VA. at SCOPE the show's venue......Fantastic and the opening act came on last.....it was Lee Michaels I believe who was very cultish from one song that if I remember right was "Do you know what I mean "........most of the crowd didn't stick around, the Wizard and friends did but he didn't play long......The L&M concert was one of the best ever !!!!!
The Crosby Stills and Nash Official Site
The Crosby Stills and Nash Official SiteWithout a doubt one of the most harmonious groups of R&R and a big favorite of the Wizard.....the strange thing is , I've seen Graham Nash when he was with the Hollies.....I've seen Stephen Stills in concert in Denver on his solo tour with AMERICA as his opening act......I even produced the solo David Crosby Concert in Steamboat Springs, CO. at the Sheraton Hotel.......but I never got to see them alltogether in concert except on DVD......I'd recommend the DAYLIGHT AGAIN DVD and the Acoustic Live Concert but the last DVD in the 3dvd box set,while having some great old footage of their past and present bands,home movies and interviews really disappoints musically.....if money's no object get'em all otherwise order the first two only.....in the future I'll give detailed stories on Stills and Crosby and the Wizard's seperate occasions of meeting them, I think you'll find both rather interesting true stories !!!!!

theanimals.comThis is probably one of the most negligible websites about a really good band from the British invasion days of music. I would recommend a re-union concert cd I found years back if your lookin' for some of their best!!

The Official Johnny Winter Web Site
The Official Johnny Winter Web SiteThe Winter brothers websites are quite different.....this is the link to Johnny's web page....the noted bluesman has a loyal following. My experience with Johnny comes from New Orleans , Bourbon St. where he sat in with SUGARDADDY at the Ivanhoe Bar....The Wizard luckily got to do his thing with Johnny.....Mustang Sally and St. James Infirmary Blues were my two sitting in songs with so many noted artists but the night with Johnny Winter always stood out in my mind. After my two numbers he shook my hand as he proceded to get off stage with me....he told me "great job"....as he attempted to give Kenny the lead guitarist his ax back Kenny said to Johnny "what the hell you want me to do with this thing now"....Kenny refering to after this performance of Johnny on his guitar that he wouldn't ever be able to make it sound that good when he played it again.....Johnny turned to Kenny and said "do the same thing you were doin' with it before, kickin' ass ,brother ! ".....Kenny Renthro was also a Texas bluesman who could lay down the licks and Johnny let him know it too !!!!!
