Edgar Winter and his older brother Johnny were my biggest influences during my preadolescence and it carried over to my late teens.
Edgar in particular was able to introduce a certain "je ne ce quoi" to an infusion of all forms of Blues, Jazz and R and B into something I have not heard before or since from any other artist.
Edgar is a well-spoken, humble, open and above all thankful and generous man. This is such a refreshing change from many who understandably, may seem jaded from living in the "dog-eat-dog" world of entertainment.
Mary Blount Parker continued to live in Bartow and is shown in the 1900 census residing in Polk County, with her daughter, Julia, and son-in-law, Thomas Marquis.
Parker was the only settler on the route from Indian River to the Kissimmee River and that he lived in the last pine island before the river.
Ellen Parker and her children moved to Basinger in 1898 and were living in the household of her daughter Bertha, and son-in-law James Walker on the 1900 census.
