SRV..... that's Texas Blues. I had the pleasure of spending some time
with him on three different occasions two years apart.. a giant.

And I have had the pleasure of carrying Mr. King's flying V's guitar
case.

There is a truly legendary anecdote I can tell about something I
witnessed first hand. Something that happened between Albert King and
Stevie Ray Vaughn... in the studio in Hamilton, Ontario. Early 80's.
A bit long for here, now, and I must put it to paper one day. The two
of them got into a gunfight, Crossroads style....
Neither finished with a diminished fifth..S
