Remembering Stevie Ray Vaughan

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the loss of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Given the magnitude of Stevie's recorded legacy, it's hard to believe his career as a solo recording artist for Epic lasted only seven years. This electrifying shot was taken at what must have been an awesome CBS sales conference in Honolulu, just prior to the release of SRV's second LP in 1984. Please share your thoughts and memories in the comments below and at SRV's Facebook page.

My parents loved SRV. In fact, my Dad taught my Mom to love "rock'n'roll" through Stevie's music and guitar. They saw SRV live and fell in love. They taught me good music, great music, and I will keep his legend alive.
