My personal experience
~With a sad, but wondrously happy tear in my eye~
I remember the first time that I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was the summer
of 1994, at the Mann Music center, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.
I went with a friend from school and her boyfriend. I only went along for
the ride, I had never really even heard of him before that. But... I
must admit that it was the best concert I had EVER been to...
We were the fourth row from the front... Watching his fingers fly, his hands melding
into the neck of his guitar, caressing it, like making love to it...
One guitar sticks in my memory, the old, worn Stratocaster that
he called Number One... His first wife. The finish so lovingly played
right off of the wood.
It's funny, sitting here, thinking about this, brings back all the
memories of that night, the smells, sounds... I was 17 at the time, and I would
do anything to be that age again, sitting there, watching Stevie playing, singing...
But we all must grow up now don't we? I'm 34 years old now, but this
is one experience that will stay burned in my memory forever.
Just like the day I heard on a local rock station that
he had been killed in that
helicopter accident. At first I thought it was some kind of joke. Then I
heard the DJ's voice breaking up, he was starting to cry and
I knew in my heart that it was true.
Ever since that first and only concert, I have been a true, die hard SRV
fan, losing myself in his music every chance I get...
So please, look through this page, enjoy the pictures, links,midis and memories
that I have written. And (taking a line from a Meatloaf song) "Always
remember that The angels had guitars even before they had wings..."
Surely Stevie is up there with his now...
