A quick word on Stevie Ray Vaughan

I was watching tv last night and there was a clip of Stevie and I watched it.  I had forgotten what an amazing musician he was and what a shame he died so young.  Gifts that extraordinary are so rare it can be difficult to appreciate them in there time. So I've posted his rendition of voodoo child. Why that song? I think there are to beings who can play it properly jimi and stevie. Everyone else should just stay away from it.

 If played properly the guitar is a whaling voice, crying and tormented.  If played poorly it mechanical and lifeless. It separates gods that breath life from the mortals.

art and music this brilliant are like looking into the sun.

enjoy
