    I grew up in Austin during the late 70s-early 80s. When I was 14, we would bribe the doorman at Antone's, the blues club in Austin, to come in and listen to this skinny guy from Dallas. We knew we were seeing something special. RIP Stevie!!!❤

    John Mayer actually inducted Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, John said Stevie Ray was always his hero and when Stevie Ray talked about his sobriety John Mayer said he never touched a drug or a drink of alcohol in his life because he wanted to be like his hero Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'll tell you Stevie Ray and his brother Jimmie Vaughan recorded an album called Family Style and there is a song called Tic-Tock we all need to hear the beautiful message especially today. Stevie Ray died just after the album was finished so Jimmie made a video and dedicated to Stevie Ray, it has old home movies of Jimmie and Stevie Ray at around 5-6 years old and videos of Stevie Ray's performances, Jimmie is wearing Stevie Ray's necklace. Stevie Ray is singing but there are different versions of that song so you would want the on with a pic of Stevie Ray and Jimmie sitting in a studio for an interview. I'm sure you'll love it.

    By this time in his career {1989} .. Stevie had been out of rehab and clean 'n' sober for 3 years now. With a new outlook on life and reestablishing his relationship w/God, SRV showed people that life's realities we're never just about him. He committed himself into helping others get clean 'n' sober. A year later .. 1990 .. SRV told his band mates about a dream he had the night before the Alpine performance. He dreamed that he was attending his own funeral.
    As SRV boarded the helicopter that fateful night,..he turned, waved and told Chris @ Tommy that he 'loved them'. In just a matter of minutes after take off ... SRV was gone.
    RIP

    My Dad, before he moved back to my home state, was living in Texas during the 80’s working as a draftsman. This was before I was born and he met my Mom. He told me about how he got off work late one night and went to the bars with his coworkers. I remember his words vividly: “We walked into this hole in the wall and sat and had a beer. There was a guy playing guitar in the corner and I didn’t think much of it until he started really getting into it. My coworker and told me that was Stevie Ray Vaughan. He finished his set and came to the bar and thank everyone for coming out. He sat with us for a few minutes and shook our hands.”
    My dad isn’t really into music or famous people, but when he told me this story, I almost fell out of my chair. My Dad met with my biggest musical influence.
    SRV Forever ❤

    Stevie Ray Vaughan has a brother named Jimmie Vaughan who is 3 years older than Stevie Ray who started playing guitar at 10 yrs old but an electric guitar, Stevie Ray loved it and got a toy guitar for his 7th birthday with cowboys and Indians on it but still learned to play Wine Wine Wine on a toy guitar amazing. Stevie Ray really wanted an electric guitar and would play Jimmie's when he would leave the house, Stevie Ray ripped 3 strings off his toy guitar and he and Jimmie would play together. Jimmie is an amazing guitarist In his own right and had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmie bought a Muddy Watters record and when Stevie Ray heard it he said he knew he was going to play the Blues. Jimmie gave Stevie Ray his electric guitar when he got a new one to help Stevie Ray on his way to start playing gigs. Stevie Ray had a hard time breaking into the music industry, he was actually in a band called Krackerjack with Double Troubles basses Tommy Shannon in Stevie Ray's teen but Stevie Ray quit when the singer wanted them to start wearing makeup (I don't blame him) 😂 in 1977 Stevie Ray put a band together called Triple Threat Reuve with Lou Ann Barton vocals, drummer Freddie Walden, Bass Jackie Newhouse, Johnny Reno Saxophone and Stevie Ray on guitar. Lou Ann Barton left the band on Nov 24,1979 and on September 10, 1978 Chris Layton replaced Jack Moore on Drums and Tommy Shannon replaced Jackie Newhouse on bass and Stevie Ray changed the name to Double Trouble and Reese Wynans joined Double Trouble in 1985 playing keys. After Lou Ann Barton left Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon told Stevie Ray that he was going to have to sing but Stevie Ray wasn't confident with his vocals but thank God he agreed. On October 10, 1989 won Stevie Ray a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues. Stevie Ray won Best New Talent, Best Electric Blues Guitar and Best Guitar Album with Texas Flood , Stevie Ray and Jeff Beck are the only Triple Award Guitarist ever to win these. On November 18, 1984 Stevie Ray won a W.C.Handy National Blues Award, Entertainer Of The Year, Blues Instermentalist Of The Year, he was the first white person to win either. . Stevie Ray Vaughan's career only span 7 years with the release of his album Texas Flood on June 19, 1983 in 1982 he was inducted into The Austin Music Hall Of Fame, in 2000 he was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame, he won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C.Handy Awards and in 2015 he was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, it's so sad that Stevie Ray didn't live to see all the awards he won after his death, Stevie Ray never got to enjoy a #1 hit because his only #1 hit was Crossfire and that was only 2 months after his death so imo he was the most underrated artist ever. On August 26, 1990 Stevie Ray went to EastTroy, Wisconsin to open 2 shows for Eric Clapton along with Robert Clay, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie Vaughan. August 27th everyone was sitting around eating and Stevie Ray came down sat down next to Jimmie and told him he had a weird dream that he died and he was looking down at all these people crying. On August 27,1990 after Eric Clapton finish his show they all came out and the last song Stevie Ray ever performed with Buddy Guy, Robert Clay, Eric Clapton and his brother Jimmie was Sweet Home Chicago. Stevie Ray boarded a helicopter that crashed into the side of a mountain right after takeoff and everyone on board were killed. . Stevie Ray's guitar tech is named Rene Martinez, he could switch Stevie Ray's guitar in less than 5 seconds, Rene said Stevie Ray used 13 gage strings (very thick, like cable wire) Stevie Ray would break strings one after another so Rene came up with a technique so Stevie Ray wouldn't break so many strings what a genius. imo STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT. sorry I did it again, I try not to keep my comments to long but I've been a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan for over 40 years and had to know every single thing about him but I didn't mean to write a book 😂 love all your reactions and just subscribed thanks

I got the album, then I got Texas Flood....Then I got a stratocaster and strung it (to train) like he did with .0012 gauge strings (thick---called "telephone cables" ) and took 6 months of "blues lessons" without learning how to read a note. Nobody comes close to SRV (not even Jimi) but he has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to play.

    The way he uses a guitar transcendent. His playing is obviously amazing, but he’s also constantly adjusting tone and volume, pickup selection, pedals, and does it so seamlessly that non guitarists do not notice, which is very difficult to do. Then when the string breaks he manages to keep the song going like nothing happened by playing any notes from the E string on the B string higher up the fretboard, before switching guitars. He’s thinking of like ten things at once and it comes out as a seamless and polished song.

    There are videos of several SRV performances where he breaks a string, and if you aren't watching closely you'll never know it even happened.

    been listening to Stevie since he started recording. hard to believe he gone.....broken strings becomes routine. the guitar tech's that travel with the band handle problems all the time, that's all they do, deal with string instruments. have worked many shows at local venues and have talked to many. the stories are amazing and the crowd doesn't see most problems.

    This man was truly gifted & in his short lifetime left us an amazing legacy. Stevie didn't have an easy life, and struggled with a severe addiction to alcohol & drugs that very nearly killed him. After getting clean and sober, he devoted his life and his music to caring for those who were hurting like he had been. He was reaching the pinnacle of both his personal & professional life when he was taken in a helicopter crash at just 35 years old. But he left a very personal message of healing in the form of a masterpiece, Riviera Paradise...which he dedicated to all who are suffering. If you want to know Stevie Ray's heart, listen to his performance of Riviera Paradise live in Austin. We lost not only a guitar legend, but a beautiful human being on that foggy night in Alpine Valley.

    That guitar tech is Rene Martinez -- who has gone on to work with many great guitarists, including John Mayer. Rene is an awesome flamenco-style guitarist himself. Stevie was the first musician he went on the road with as a guitar tech and he saved Stevie's fingers when he was playing 13 gauge strings on the high E. He worked out a set of strings that gave Stevie the tone he had to have without the wear and tear on his fingers. Big salute to the legendary Rene Martinez!

    I know you did this a few weeks ago. But I just saw it and loved Stevie Ray Vaughn. I was fortunate in that I got to see him in Iowa in the winter of 1985/86. Stevie learned to play guitar by listening to B.B. King and his brother Albert King records and teaching himself to play the riffs and licks. As a kid of about 15, they had the audacity to ask Albert King if Stevie could sit in with them on a jam session. That was something that you just did not do. Albert agreed and called him up with them (they figured Albert would probably play with his mind a little). But it was Stevie who played with Albert's mind by playing Albert's songs. Albert was so impressed he took Stevie under his wing. B B King also did and his relationship with Stevie was like a father son bond. So the legends of blues, BB and Albert King and Buddy Guy are where Stevie went gained a lot of confidence. Stevie had a natural gift. The guitar was like an extension of his body, the sound was a part of his soul. If you noticed how Stevie's face contorts while he plays, you should watch Albert King too and you will see the same thing. You see it from B B King too. The night stevie died, he had been playing with Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton. They got on helicopters to head to Chicago.. Buddy and Eric had no idea Stevie's helicopter crashed in the fog. There are very few people in Stevie's league with a guitar. BB King, Albert King were. Eric Clapton was but made no secret that Stevie was better. People who knew them both have said Stevie was better than Jimi Hendricks. One of the few I ever knew that was close to Stevie's level was Eddie Van Halen. Sadly we have lost Eddie too.

    Mind you, this performance was after Stevie embraced sobriety. He was close to death by 1986, but got checked into rehab. A year later, he came back and played even better than he did before drugs and drinking took over his life. And then, sadly we lost him again in a helicopter crash.

    He was one of a kind and did some amazing things with his raw talent. Jimi Hendrix was another master, who played with guitar with his teeth, set his guitar on fire and did some incredible work. Our generation was lucky enough to grow up listening to top of the line artist, before 'autotune' and all the tech today's artists rely on to get the job done. Thanks for sharing.
