Guitar great Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughn performed his last performance before being tragically killed in a helecopter accident in East Troy, WI. (Alpine Valley) at 12:40 a.m. (8/27/90).
Being the huge SRV fan that I am, y'all know I just had to bring this to a mention.
RIP Stevie, we *still* miss you...and to go along with Amie's music to kick off the weekend thread I do believe a little SRV is in order for me this evening.

It was in the spring of that year that I saw him for the first and only time. I went to see Jeff Beck and some guy I'd barely heard of named Stevie Ray Vaughn was opening...
Breathtaking show, and a true loss.

I saw SRV 5x... several times front and center. If I could have been anyone else in the world, it would have been him.

I woke up listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn this A.M.
His guitar work is amazing every time I hear it.
He would have been 51 years old on Oct.3rd.
We share birthdays 10 years apart.
LIFE IS SHORT. DON'T BE A DICK.
