Austin City Limits
Stevie may have been born and raised in Dallas but when he quit school and moved to Austin he embraced them and they he. His self taught singular style triggered a meteoric rise in a genre that had stagnated and reintroduced a whole generation to blues with a flourish. The music scene is still alive and well in that small Texas town. This statue by Ralph Helmick, located at the intersection of Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail was an awesome find. Check out the 'shadow', to me it signifies that his playing days are over, but the music lives on. Oh, and if you find yourself along the river in Austin at night and stumble across this monument, bring a flashlight because it's dark as heck!
A link to some Stevie Ray Vaughan. youtu.be/Oi69EGRYCXQ This vid takes a moment (bout a minute) to get going, but I like how it builds and explodes into this live concert.
