I wish I knew him better. He passed years ago, I was holding his hand on his last breath. He was one of those free spirit types: no fucks given. Didnt care about money at all, just his music.

 

He actually played on my birthday in 86 at the hard rock in Dallas with Ron Wood. That was bad ass. (Wanst for me just a coincidence)

 

Here is a great article about him and his life from a few years back. Read, dont read it, I don't care. But my uncle was a bad mother fucker.

Great story that ties in with the SRV biography I saw on TV a few weeks ago.  Loved reading that.

Was thinking the same.  The musical talent that came from those mentioned in that article is legendary.  What it must have been like to have had an uncle with chops who could jam with the best blues players of the day.
