“On August 27, 1990, Vaughan and four others were killed in a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisconsin, after performing with Double Trouble at Alpine Valley Music Theatre.”
“On February 3, 1959, American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson were all killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, together with pilot Roger Peterson.”

Totally agree.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

One of my favorites, as well. In another video of this song, I counted at least 4 picks he went through, just on this song.

just before the wife and I started dating I had another couple invite me to a show, we sat behind a friend and her husband, (no idea they would be there)
SRV at the Richmond Mosque, one of the most acoustically perfect venues out there,
and a fantastic show, wife and i are big fans,
his version of Voodoo Chile that night was fantastic,
Stevie Ray will always be special to me. I waited a long time to see him and the only time he came close was an amazing opportunity when he played our county fair. My drummer was supposed to go with me and had to back out last minute. Long story short due to some people I knew I ended up on the 'other' side of the barricade near the stage to help any injured or assure no one crossed. SRV was less than 3' over my head more than a few times.
The next night tragedy struck and he was gone...
Anyway, here is a great old interview

It doesn't take a music expert or guitar geek to recognize how off-the-charts masterful it is to break a string during a solo and change guitars w/o missing a single beat or note. Mad respect to SRV's guitar tech too, Rene Martinez.

I met him in the spring of 1990. I'm not normally a star struck person, but I remember telling myself to be cool and not say anything stupid. We wound up having a cup of coffee and talking about our grandmother's. Don't ask me why but that's where the conversation wandered to. I grew up 10 miles from him, thought I was going to have a lot more time to see him in concert...
I have a few SIGs.

Saw him live. You ain't wrong.
