The body of Johnny Winter was discovered in a Swiss Hotel in Zurch Wednesday (7/16), where the 70 year-old guitar legend was on tour.  The older brother of another great musician, keyboard player Edgar Winter, Johnny had just recently wrapped-up work on a new album that included contributions from a number of major musicians that were life-long admirers of him.  The wife of Rick Derringer posted news of Johnny's death on her Facebook page, adding, '...he was not in good health and was very frail and week'.
