It's now been 20 years since Stevie Ray Vaughn met his demise aboard a
helicopter over Wisconsin.  It doesn't seem that long ago.  I was at
his last show that night in Alpine Valley.  I'd been watching the show
from down front and went backstage just after the encore ended.  I
remember commenting to a friend as we walked past the four helicopters
idling nearby that I couldn't believe anyone would try flying out of
there in the heavy fog that had settled into the valley.  Three of the
choppers did it right and lifted straight up above the surrounding
hills and then headed toward Chicago.  The one SRV was onboard took
off ascending as it went forward.  It crashed into one of the hills
used in the winter as a ski run.  Stupid mistake really.  I didn't
hear anything that remotely sounded like a crash.  I didn't learn
about the crash until the next morning.  The following night, the show
moved on to St. Louis.  I saw SRV many times throughout his career.
I'll never forget that his guitar tone was always the best of anyone
on any bill that I ever heard him play on.  He walked the walk.

R.I.P.
