Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute links

Back in 1985, 'way up north in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I was a old-timer college student whose buddy always played SRV. Not that I didn't get it, but it didn't register. Go figure. (I REALLY wasn't paying attention!)

And I remember the day it FINALLY *ALMOST* registered; I was sitting in front of a TV *NOT* watching PBS, doing some homework, or something, in my lap. About 12 minutes into an Austin City Limits taping, my brain had had 12 minutes of guts-grabbing blues guitar, and my head *FINALLY* came up from what it was doing, and never in my life have I ever been as captivated as I was that day - and I'd missed half the show! (I was never the same again...)

I think I like best what Eric Clapton had to say about Stevie Ray in an interview:

He was one of a rare few guitarists that were 'way above the rest of us. Like, everyone freezes sometime - like, you'll be playing along, and you'll come to a passage that, no, you don't want to play it this way, or that way, and nothing will come - but Stevie was... like a conduit the music flowed through, and he was just holding the guitar as it poured out..."
