Iowa Public TV did a ratings grabber tonight

[Bluzmann57]

Fund raising time and they had the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'm sorry to veer off of politics, but SRV actually had a profound influence on my life, even though I only met him briefly. You see, SRV helped me beat a vice I had. Did he save my life? Hell, I don't know, but I do know I felt much better after I talked to him about the addiction. And I also know that he was among the greatest musicians the world has ever seen. Please give to IPTV. We need to have some quality TV in our great state. In closing, RIP SRV. Sorry to be so emotional. But like I said, he was a great man who genuinely cared about others who had the same problems he did.

1. Great musician!

I was lucky to see a great show in the 80s.
Sad when he died. :(

2. Dang - Sorry I missed it.

A few months ago I downloaded some tracks from "In Session: Albert King With Stevie Ray Vaughan"

Cool that you we're able to talk to him. He's on my ever growing "wish I had seen..." list (although I did catch Albert King by chance).

RIP boys. RIP.
