On this day in 1954, my cousin, blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was born in Dallas. Considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, he spearheaded the blues revival of the 1980s as the leader of the band Double Trouble before his life was tragically cut short in a helicopter crash in 1990.

A Texas treasure taken much too early.
Last time I saw him was at Manor Downs SRV and Double Trouble, brother Jimmy and Fabulous Tbirds, Delbert McClinton, and Joe Ely. What a show. My liver still hurts
