Sooner or later, this here blog-a-wog-a-wang-dang-doodle being about STUFF that I DIG in the EXTREME (among all sorts of other odds and ends!)--- there simply HAD to be a post about the LEGENDARY Stevie Ray Vaughan!
Watch this space for a more extensive post, about this amazing and (yes, I know I say it a LOT here about the music-makers I'm all GEEKY about--- but once AGAIN, the word FITS!) gifted guitarist / singer---and his effect on the Loydster. He was only 35 when he left us, as they say-- ALL TOO SOON. But--- he left us with some of the GREATEST, most ROCKIN' blues ever recorded!
In no particular kind of order, here are 4 of my favorite tunes from the Texas guitar-slinger! The live version of 'Pride and Joy' (recorded at Carnegie Hall on Stevie's birthday, 1984), is my personal favorite version of that song! I just DIG the COOL horn section!!!---
TRULY music to get the feet tappin' and the head boppin'! As I was saying, look for a post about Stevie and his music (AND it's effect on me, over the years!) in the not-too-distant future!
