[Guest Glock23ForMe]

I was like... "Who is Stevie Ray Vaughn"

[vontar]

I hate to say it but I did not know who he was.

So I just hit play on all 4 videos.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Thanks, Ken.

That's for vontar too.

Hubby and I saw him perform on Mud Island not long before the plane accident.

I love me some Stevie Ray. Thanks for posting.

He was one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived and I liked how he was able to overcome the drugs before he died waaay too soon. I still listen to him a lot. I also like to listen to one of his students, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, another great guitar player.

[Guest Tiny G]

listening to CD now . . hard to believe it's been 20 years

[farrar]

Amazing artist. Probably in the top five guitarist of all time. Fighting for number one just because he is a great vocalist as well

[Mechanic_X]

Never got to see him live but have many cds and the Austin City Limits DVD. Helicopters, thousands of parts all moving in different directions.

[Guest Bronker]

Wow.

I was sitting in freshman English class, when a guy leaned over and said "Hey, did you hear about Stevie Ray Vaughn?"

I can't BELIEVE that was 20 years ago.

Just, wow.

I remember what BB King accurately stated about him. Said SRV had "more rhythm and soul than any white man I have ever seen".

Yep

I bought the ALBUM (can you say vinyl) "Couldn't Stand the Weather" in 84. Outrageous disks, But my wife kept asking what Voodoo CHILI was.

Can't wait to get to the next level so I can hear Jimi and SRV do it together.

[Guest BEARMAN]

Seen SRV and Double Trouble at the Grand 'Ol Opry House. Forget what year it was, however, 35mm camera's were still in vogue, and I got some killer pictures of him and his band.

One of the greatest guitarist that ever lived.

RIP Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I was working at the HiFi shop where I earned extra cash while at Alabama when I heard the news. It was a sad day, though every customer who walked in got to hear SRV for the next few days, non-stop.

[FUJIMO]

THE KING is gone

LONG LIVE SRV !

[BigK]

Much respect! Truly a lost talent.

[I_Like_Pie]

I actually like and have two of his albums, but for the life of me I didn't know he was dead.

[laktrash]

First time I heard him at someones house I thought it was some jimi hendrix that I hadn't heard. Its a real shame they both aren't around today especially since they were gitting a little more "bluesy" toward the end of their careers

His "Voodoo Child" on Austin City Limits was fantastic. Got that DVD and one other. Great guitarist and vocalist.
