I can't believe I (almost forgot)! It has been a busy day at work, dealing with the kids! It is almost sacrilege! One of those memories "where time just STOPPED" you remember EXACTLY where you were and what you were doing!

I know, he was so cool and it was sucky what happened to him. May he RIP.

I am honored to say I had the distinct privilege of drinking beers and chatting with Stevie on many occasions, long before he made it big... He and Double trouble used to gig At Rockerfellers on Washington St, (I worked the Equinox Play theater across the street.) in Houston during the very early 80's. I was in my 20's. RIP Stevie! (And thanks for the guitar advice!)

Grant, I will forever envy you!

You Know whats funny? During that time, I knew that he kicked ass on the guitar and as a performer, but I never would have guessed him making it to legendary status...He was just a regular guy... And most important, its how he viewed himself... He was 'one of the guys...' as far as he was concerned. (Pretty humble and not above anybody... in the grand scheme)

never heard of him................

Oh yes you have! You know you have... His Guitar was as important to R& B as an M14 rifle is to that Marine Guard at the memorial

Watch the vid and get back to us JC. Probably never heard of Andre Segovia, Joe Pass, Les Paul, Jimi Hendrix, or Eddie Van Halen either.

Your kidding right? I am not insulted by the fact you haven't heard of him. I would just have to say "what planet have you been living on"? Seriously though I know the blues ain't every ones cup of tea. Based on the music you have posted I can see why you haven't. Its like I can honestly say there are a LOT of rappers I have never heard of. Stevie Ray Vaughn has acheived super star status. I saw him in 1984/85 In fact I spent that new years eve watching him. The guy was ONE HELL OF A FORCE to be reckoned with! Just my opinion.

I like this one better:

I hear guys do this song all the time and they can just never pwn it like Stevie!
