Stevie Ray Vaughan

[Zen]

I saw Stevie Ray in concert and got some great photos.
Unfortunately that was in the dark ages before digital.

One of the greatest guitarists this world has ever seen but not an attractive man

Stevie Ray Vaughn was in a class by himself. When he was first getting air time, Eric Clapton heard him on the radio and had to pull his car over to the side of the road to listen in awe at the non-stop riffs, and that Stevie never stopped to think through the next progression. The music just flowed out of him. I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn as an intro to Huey Lewis back in the early 80's.The jerks I was with wanted to leave the arena early to avoid the traffic. I found out the next day that the 2 groups had jammed together for the last number, and that people who left early were stupid to miss it. The day he died in the helicopter crash I cried and cried. What more he might have had in him.

There's an SRV concert special that they show on PBS sometimes. It rocks.

I think he played on a couple of David Bowie songs, too. Modern Love was one, I think.

p.s. your nephew has excellent taste.

Being in Austin, we have a statue of SRV, I wish I was down near Lady Bird Lake more often so I could snap your nephew a shot. My high school class song was voted to be "Life by the Drop" but my principal nixed that when he listened to the words deeper.

I saw his brother Jimmy last summer for free and he is amazing as well. Definitely not Stevie but talented none the less. Pretty mature taste for such a little guy!

CWO: Your nephew has great taste in guitarists, and he is a lucky guy to have an aunt who would go to such lengths for him! Would love to see what you end up with. SRV was one of the greats! Check him out on iTunes... for the mellower side: The Sky Is Crying is an unbelievable slow blues cd.

He is my little Grandson, my little pal, when we are in the car we have such a lot of fun, much like when I take him swimming, we mess about and laugh so much.

Not many years from now, he will not want the kisses and cuddles and fuss, so I am making the most of it.

If only he would let me win on the PS3 occasionally!

Last year he informed me when he gets to 21, he wants to have hair and skin like Jimi Hendrix..........I don't think I will be able to help out there.

I am hoping to win a DVD on eBay Stevie Ray Vaughan voodoo Chile for him, I might be able to use the pic on the front of that for the T-shirt.

Thanks for all the replies, later tonight I will read through them all properly.
