Happy Birthday to Austin’s own, Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stephen Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990), born in Dallas, Texas, was an American blues guitarist. His broad appeal made him one of the world’s most influential electric blues guitarists. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Stevie lived in Austin; he was the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughan of Austin, Texas.
Here’s a couple of Antone’s show prints I had framed at Hobby Lobby. They did a spectacular job! (If you go to Hobby Lobby at 183/Lakeline, ask for Mona). I bought these posters at Antone’s back around 2000. I’ve got a couple more of Stevie and Buddy Guy I’ll get framed one of these days.
Aren’t those matching frame mats stunning!

and happy B-Day to a lad from Austin, Texas, a place that Stevie called home for many years, honed his talent at the Rome Inn, Soap Creek Saloon, The Armadillo World Hdqrts and Antone’s, among other gigs. The lad is myself. Bruce
