1. Thanks...

What a life….his band was well named. People should not fly in the fog, we were reminded of Kobe at the All Star game tonight. I know much more than I ever did before about Stevie thanks to you.

2. You're very welcome! I thought it was a really good documentary.

3. I've Mentioned This Before, But....

...I'll reiterate.
My wife & I went with some friends to see SRV & Clapton at Alpine Valley the night they crashed.
We're nearly 2 hours away, so we didn't get home until around 1:30.
Woke up next morning around 7:30am & the first thing we saw on Chicago morning news was that he died in that crash!
Quite the shock to wake up to that.

4. I can barely imagine how much of a shock that must have been. And it was such a

tragic loss -- not just because he'd already created so much brilliant music, but because his turning his life around, giving up booze and drugs (and helping other addicts), meant he might have had several decades more as a great musician. He was already so good that he was arguably the greatest blues guitarist ever.

5. wow...

you must have really been hit hard that morning...sorry for that. Did you happen to have a camera that day?

6. Probably Not

I always found flash photography at concerts annoying so I sure wasn't going to contribute.
And, I never had the high quality camera that would let me rely on lighting.
Maybe one of our friends had one, but I don't recall that.
