Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest even if he has shuffled off this big ball of dirt!

That was excellent! Thanks for posting it! (I always loved SRV.)

I'm afraid I must wait to actually see the website referred to because it's "forbidden!"  Probably something to do with second-hand cussing.  smile.gif

Later: It must be the website my firewall at work disapproves of!  I'm sure a lot more than "second-hand cussing" is on some of the other non Stevie Ray videos on that website!   dry.gif  I suppose that the video is not downloadable or otherwise obtainable;  I really like that song too!

WOW,  great!  Stevie's one of my top favourites. I did not have this song on any of my CDs by him.  Thought I had it all.  
Now I have to figure how to get this into my iTunes,,,,,,,,,
Thank you!

Apparently it's on a CD called: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - The Real Deal: Greatest Hits 2 or at least some of that!  Amazon has it but I'm kind of mad at them right now so I'm going to try to find it locally!

I still miss Stevie Ray; got to see him @ Bumbershoot in Seattle for free (was so wound up after the concert, it took me 5 hrs. to get to sleep; best concert EVER!).  Must have been back in about '86-87.  Another video, with Beck (considered by Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Townsend & SRV to be the best rock guitar player, EVER!)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoT92HzeSvk...stevie%20ray%20

Thank you!  I will buy these.
Ive always loved the original by Freddie King, but this one is really amazing.

I forgot to mention this, but Ive been using Pandora.com for a while.  Its really quite neat, as you pick out your favourite kind of music,(blues mostly for me), and as the songs play, you click on what you like.  Then as you go along, they search for similar.  As you listen, you can pick out what you want to buy later.  
Its quite a remarkable way of finding music you like.  And having to purchase just the ones you like, and not the whole CD is great.
But gotta watch how much you rack up, it can get expensive!
try it, its www.pandora.com

It is a great site, Jane; one of my students turned me on to it about a year ago.  So far, I've resisted buying any music from it. . .

This is great!   I love the full screen ones too.
Thank you for the links.  I must limit my time though, pandora, iTunes, and youtube are so captivating.
