I was about 8 years old when I heard that Stevie had died. I was in the car with my mother. This is one of the few memories I have from being that young. Another thing that I remember about it was that right after I heard that it happened, the sky went dark: No that isin't it.
The Sky Was Cryin.
Stevie's music will live on in our hearts forever.
Spoken by Stevie Ray during Life Without You:
Ya know, right now the most important thing in my life is to make sure you understand that, first of all I thank god I'm alive today, and I mean that. You see, I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing. It took me quiet a while to find out that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves you and cares about you. You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourself. So that we will know that they are around in the first place. Are you listening to me ? Thank you. I'm glad to hear that. You see that its a big world out there; with enough pain and misery in it; without me going around and helping it out by hurting myself; and consequently, those that care about me. What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that's all we got, and that is what we can take with us. Are you with me ?
Stevie Ray Vaughan
One thing that I know is that his fans will continue "Livin' Life By The Drop" Just as Stevie would want.
