Stevie Ray Vaughan Quote

Stevie Ray died on August 27, 1990. Its hard to believe its been almost 20 years. I was thinking about him today and found a great quote (below) and also ran across a site I had never seen before. Its called Celebrity Rock Guitars and is worth a look, lots of great information and photos.


I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.

Saw him play live in '89. He was sober at that point and played like a madman. A legend.

1990 was the year I got turned on to SRV. In July he was playing about 45 minutes away. I begged my husband, a huge fan since the days when nobody knew who he was, to take me, but it was a work night and he had to get up early.

A few weeks later SRV died. Dammit. I can't hear his music without feeling gypped.

Dos, WOW!!!!! Thanks for stopping by and sharing that. Unreal! That is so awesome I can barely stand thinking about it. It reminds me so much of when I saw him. The guy was so down to earth...no "hey look at me I'm the greatest" it was more like "let me play guitar for you cause I want to rock your world"

If you are going to lose weight it also means that you have to leave something. This can cause a sense of loss in the beginning. It is important to take this into account. Do you notice resistance? Such a little voice in your head that always want to sabotage? Then find out for yourself where the resistance comes from, what the reasons are. Sometimes it helps to choose a different approach or to take a step back. Focus on the benefits of why you want to lose weight.

Most people choose a fresh Christmas tree for its fragrance, which can be fairly strong or just subtle, giving off just enough of a whiff of scent. Douglas fir, which is one of the most popular Fiber Optic Christmas Tree

Certain types Modern Christmas Treeof christmas tree confiers definitely suit the Victorian style more accurately than others. The taller slimmer trees include the spruce and the balsam fur. Victorian style trees are not as spindly as the rounder American style trees and show very little white space through their branches. Also the color of Victorian trees tend to have a bit of a blue tint to their green branches. Keep this in mind if you are shopping for an artificial or corner christmas tree.
