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.
