Title: 24 years ago, yesterday
Post by: Knoll on August 28, 2014, 09:40:40 pm: 24 years ago yesterday, we lost an incredible guitar player – the amazing Stevie Ray Vaughan. Here's amateur vid of Stevie doing "routine" morning sound check before the evening's concert. He's still yawning! Man, that fella could make a guitar sing!!!

I play this in shop often. It's a long vid. Ya may want to skip ahead to 12:00 minute mark. For short listen, 16:00 is even better.

Here's one for ya:

One of the nice things about our years in Chgoland was The House of Blues.

Drew, Jesse's Dad, used to live in the same rooming house and play music with Stevie Ray. Drew was at the Tenn Classic a few times and played music at the night time jams.

Post by: paoliguy on August 29, 2014, 12:41:03 pm: I had the opportunity to see Stevie Ray play live several times. He was the most amazing player I have ever seen. It was like losing a friend when he died. I've been remembering and listening to a lot of SRV and Johnny Winter the past few weeks ....

Check out the Serbian Sensation....Ana Popovic. A touch more funk to her style of blues.
