Stevie Ray Vaughan

“The whole deal is when you walk onstage, you’re up there bigger than life. People idolize you.”
“I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see how great it will get!”

Stephen “Stevie” Ray Vaughan – October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990

Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisconsin on August 27, 1990, after playing a show with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and Stevie’s big brother Jimmie Vaughan.
