    It was either in late 1984 or early 1985 I was listening to the radio and the announcer said there's a free concert at the bandshell on Saturday. You've got to see this guy. He named his name but I had never heard of him but he said he's the new Jimi Hendrix. I said I like Jimi Hendrix so on Saturday I went and from 20 yd away watched Stevie Ray Vaughan play for free. It totally blew my mind. I couldn't believe what I was watching. That guy was a freak of nature.

    Paul-SRV came here to play in Spartanburg in our historic downtown auditorium in late '89 or '90, not long before his chopper found the side of that mountain (in heavy mist in Ohio if I recall correctly). I really didn't know who he was at the time, and so turned down a buddy's offer to go see him as I worked 2nd shift in those days, and was trying (sometimes) to be responsible. Of course as a fellow Hendrix nut I totally got into him after he died. I still kick myself for missing that show, where the worst seat in the house is still looking right down on the stage! I can't think of a guitar slinger who ever played with more excitement or raw intensity-the sweat just poured off him!


    And Richard-Vivaldi's Four Seasons is classic.

    Here's another mind-blower. God almighty!

    And it always impressed me that he could get such effortless, accurate bends on such heavy-gauge strings. Anybody who plays knows what I'm talking about-I guess they helped him stay in tune on those long jams on a whammy-bar Strat.

    The day before SRV died, he told the members of his band that he had a dream he was at his own funeral, that people were mourning his death.

    I recently was turned onto a video about Hendrix being murdered & not drowning in his puke after the Nixon administration had the CIA investigating him because of his involvement with the Black Panthers which was really nothing more than some of them going to his concerts & was also worried about people following certain rock members & the movement that was going on then. It makes sense to me, especially after I always look up actor/actresses & found that actress Jean Seberg died myseriously in Paris, France but had some involvment with the Black Panthers.

    A little over an hr long so make time to watch.

    My oldest brother has a similar story to mine. Back in the 60s and early 70s we lived in Atlanta. He and his friends used to go to Piedmont Park to see free concerts on weekends in the summer. One day one of them said "hey want to go to the park to see a concert?" "I don't know. Who's playing?" "Some band called the...Uh...The Allman Brothers." "Never heard of them but I guess so." And he sat and watched Sky Dog (Duane Allman) play for free from 15-20 yrds.

    ...and Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is one of my favorite pieces of music ever written. Ya know, Mozart spent most of his life trying to be Vivaldi.
