Some SRV doing an early A.M. sound check. There will never be another like him.

He used to play with the house band at Billy Bob's if you were "in the know"

The old man saw him several times including a time or two when they locked the doors, threw out most of the patrons, and let them play till the sun came up to mostly staff.

I remember it well it was on my birthday. I had tickets to go to Alpine Valley, something came up and we couldn't go. I heard it on the radio that morning. Yes, it was 25 years ago yesterday. The crash may have occurred after midnight.
I caught SRV quite a few times. Once at the Orpheum from the front row. He sat on the edge of the stage about three feet away from us. The thing I remember the most, SRV was not a big guy, but he had really large hands.
He was one Helluva guitar slinger.
