The sky is crying....

[Austinoire]

My home state's and city's situation can best be summed up by Texas" own late great guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan hit song "It's flooding down in Texas".
Man, I love and miss me some SRV.

I am a huge SRV fan myself, such an expressive player, taken far too young from us. I admire the depth of tone, the sheer anguish he can extract from a Stratocaster. There will never be another like him. Texas blues at it's absolute finest!

Well said...well said.

I just became a fan!

I just became a fan!

If you've not yet listened to it, his instrumental piece "Lenny" is sublime, as is the song preceding it in this video, Riviera Paradise....enjoy

I'm nearly at he end of 'Best of'. Wonders of the internet! 'Lenny' isn't on it so I'll come back to your vid, thanks.

Funnily enough ...... I wandered into this thread via the title ..... As it reminded me of yet another superb artist taken from us far too early: Gary Moore. His cover of 'The Sky Is Crying' is amazing.

Hiya,

I gotta ask if you ever go to the Gourdoughs joints. Really interesting sammiches and crazy sounding donuts on the menu.

My Dad is a missive SRV fan, sometimes it's a little bit "dirty" for me. I'm more into modern stuff (Joe Bonamassa...), but still sample a little SRV when I get chance
