Got a question for everyone..
How many.. ... Know who...
Stevie Ray Vaughn is?
If you don't... I highly recommend
You find someone who does and give
A listen!
IMO The greatest R&B legend that ever lived.
Sadly... We lost him in 1990...
Shame he became a household name in 1983,
Got his claim to fame with a gentleman named Albert King... In a closed jam session in Canada.
I was fortunate to see him live in 1986 at the Royal Oak music theatre a few years before his passing.
Texas Flood, Pride and Joy...
to name a few of his hits!
Look him up on YouTube...
Saw him onin session today,
Which is a public tv station.
The Greatest Guitarist that ever lived!

I know there are a lot of big Nirvana fans, what I said was NOT meant to be an insult, just an observation. Compare them to other bands that had a "new sound" to music and disappeared with out any unfortunately tragedy.
Now a fact they made me feel old, a couple years, Rolling Stone did an article about the baby that was chasing a dollar in a pool on the cover of the Nevermind album. I remember when that album came out, the baby is now over 18!!! Probably 21 at this point. Good grief!!

I had the honor of meeting Stevie backstage in '85 when he was doing the Soul to Soul tour. He was and always will be one of my favorite artists. A lot of his songs made it onto the tavern circuit playlists back then too.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of my most favorite blues artists. I had the great fortune to see his band Double Trouble at one of the big casinos here in St. Louis. I don't know who was doing vocals but they sounded great....Stevie had been gone about 10 years already.

Unfortunately, Stevie Ray Vaughn died in a helicopter crash after doing a concert with his brother in 1990. (His brother wasn't with him in the helicopter)He's still alive today. That's probably who you saw Angie. The name Dbl trouble came from the 2 brothers being together
In Stevies band. Thus he kept the name.. In honor of his brother.
Here's the irony;
He(Stevie Ray Vaughn) had just kicked drugs and alcohol addiction!
Gotten his act together only to perish a few years later!
The saying goes:
Only the Good Die Young.
He was only 33 yrs old..
RIP/SRV...
