stevie ray vaughn

[desdemona]

I think the first taste I had of blues rock was listening to stevie ray vaughn, it's so true the good die young, what a loss, a great guitar player, another fan of jimmy hendrix, but with a distinct style that is copied by many electric blues players today, I never saw him live, but I remember seeing a performance on television when I was young, he had sweat dripping off of him just grabbin the neck of that guitar doing 3 bar blues. below is a link to a site with a biography, which turns out to be a good sight for info on artists from the 60's and 70's also.

one of my favorite guitar players. "Tougher" than the others. I own a lot of his albums

...midnight on August 27 1990, along with three of Eric Clapton's road crew, Stevie Ray Vaughan boarded a helicopter to fly to Chicago. The helicopter crashed. There were no survivors.

i have a bootleg of his last show

I remember a thread somewhere about if you had the chance to see anybody dead or alive in concert who would it be?

My vote was for Stevie. I never get tired of him.
