As we approach 24-years since the great blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan left this earth (have to think he’s up there jammin with Hendrix, Albert King, Hubert Sumlin, and Albert Collins), I still enjoy seeing material released today, especially material post-rehab where we see the true spirit, mind and soul of SRV unhindered by drugs and alcohol.

Came across this cool tour bus spot I hadn’t seen before – love the line “I was sleeping on pool tables, but probably this was the happiest time of my life because I was doing what I wanted to do, playing what I wanted to play”

How many of us could apply this simple principle to our lives? SRV had the guts to go after what he wanted, let’s all try to apply that to our lives moving forward.
