Incredible to think that its the 20th anniversary of Stevie’s death. I remember hearing the news as a fourteen year old. I went straight to the local record shop (we were on holidays in Port Macquarie) and bought a package which included Texas Flood, Couldn’t Stand the Weather and Soul to Soul. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Looking back I can see these records were the catalyst for me getting the guitar bug in a big way. It floored me. I listened to Couldn’t Stand the Weather for about two years solid. And of course a little bit later the Live at The El Mocambo video virtually lived in our video recorder. For mine Live at The El Mocambois still one of the best guitar performances caught on film to this day. We miss you Stevie.
