Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan
For some reason I got into a Stevie Ray Vaughan kick tonight, and it turns out to be a week from the 22nd anniversary of his death. I always want to cry if I think about him too much, and tonight I did.
His guitar & music make me feel such joy, such elation in my body and heart, and I become overwhelmed at the knowledge that he is no longer around, though I have known this for most of my life. My dad tells me every time I mention SRV that he had the privilege to see the great man in concert a few weeks before his death, and though Dad has told me many times, I never stop him, knowing that he mourns in a way, too.
(I especially get emotional when I hear Stevie Ray play "Little Wing", because it also makes me think of Jimi Hendrix.)
Anyway.
