I thought, I’ve been to Japan, and we’re going to China, I’ve pretty much traveled the whole world–I should just get something that shows that I’ve circumvented the globe. Now, we’re in a really good place, one of the best in Japan. So, I’m in Japan with Johnny and he said, “Look, if you get a tattoo, I’ll go with you.” I’m like, here’s my story! It’s like going to a tattoo parlor with Hendrix. People always have a story about their tattoo, and I had no story. Paul: Yeah, I always wanted one, but the problem was I never had that story that everybody has with tattoos, like my tattoo reminds me of my beloved pet that passed away or some other big event. Could you tell me about the time you were with Johnny Winter getting your first tattoo in Japan? Sounds like there’s a great story there. This is a question from something I read about you. Martine: You spent years touring with Johnny Winter and you were close friends. He produced several of Johnny Winter’s albums, including Step Back, which won Nelson a Grammy for “Best Blues Album.” He executive produced and appeared in the Johnny Winter documentary, Down and Dirty and also appeared in the documentary Sidemen: Long Road to Glory. This is Part Two of our interview with Grammy-winning guitarist, record producer and songwriter, Paul Nelson, who was the guitarist for legendary blues-rock icon, Johnny Winter.
