Close your eyes, "see" a black guy playing, and let us know if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, work on that bigotry a little bit, OK?

Awesome, just fricking — AWESOME! Back in '86 and '87, Big Head Todd used to play this and other SRV gems every week at the Friday Afternoon Club at the CU Memorial Center...can't believe it now but we actually kind of got tired of him doing it! (We'd seen Stevie jam at Red Rocks in June of '85 and CU Events Center in Oct. of the same year...). Then that legend was taken too soon...and now surprisingly many years have gone by and it is good to remember...but not many around who can jam it like SRV or BHT!
Well, Todd and The Monsters are playing for us Boulder Homies THIS SATURDAY Dec. 15, at The Fox On The Hill, and we're hoping they'll do us the biggest and PLAY THIS AGAIN!
The Blues is this marvelous therapeutic ritual thing people can participate in through the years across all times, races, and places, dig it!

I was recently watching a programme on the BBC (UK) hosted by Jools Holland called 'Sounds Of London'' and evidently ( if I remember correctly ) during the 17 century on every street corner there were people singing .. songs they had written themselves ... these songs were taken to the Americas long before the slave trade began but when the black man did arrive in America he took up these songs and sang them in his peculiar style... Does that help with your SRV problem ??????

for me, its not an exact science, its just a blues song, but you can tell it isn't his first time on guitar.

Just read in Joe Bonamassa's newsletter that this Monday, Aug. 27, will be the 22nd anniversary of SRV's death, at age 35, in a post-concert helicopter crash. Wow. Still smokin' and so current, but long gone.

this song is so yesterday!

I know what you mean, most songs get old just from being old.
Just look at most of the songs from the 60's for an example.

But this guitar is special. Old or new, this is one hot guitar.
Stevie is to guitars, what Elvis was to hips

Great tune, but why are 'Tin Pan Alley' and 'Lenny' not in the RP mix?!?!?! I give this a nine, but the other two are 10s.

I still can't fully embrace the blues. All that whining and moaning and self-pity. Legitimate emotions, guys and gals, but get over it.
All the same, Hendrix and Santana and Clapton and just about ALL the others came up by and with those there blues, so it's the real deal. But even when the blues are an off-putting the-guitarist-gotta-shoot-himself 6, this kind of play rockets it to the top. Jeez, Stevie could finesse those strings.

You only wish you could do that. Try it tomorrow ... for everything that goes so wrong.
