All this talk of great guitar players especially SRV makes me think of a very special Saturday night back in 1982. I had been trying to get a local club owner to let my 8 piece blues band play at his club "Rockefellers" It was the top blues club at the time. I had tickets to see Stevie Ray and Albert King that night. About 3:00pm I get a call from the owner telling me that Albert King had canceled and if we want to open up for Stevie Ray be at the club by 5:00. Needless to say we were there. Stevie was not a house hold name at the time and still on a local label called Lunar 2 records. It ended up being my 15 min of fame and a killer night of playing the blues with one of the best blues guitarist every to live. I think I still have a recording of that night somewhere.
