Stevie Ray. One of the greatest. - - - Repost: @lordrarerock CHOP IT DOWN - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble’s 1989 full performance of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” at Austin City Limits stands as a masterclass in guitar virtuosity. SRV approached the Hendrix classic with a fiery intensity, turning the song into a personal showcase of raw emotion and technical brilliance. His phrasing, bends, and fearless command of the fretboard electrified the Texan audience, carrying the spirit of the original while stamping it with his own unmistakable identity. Every note felt alive, as if SRV was channeling forces both earthly and cosmic, honoring Hendrix while pushing the song into uncharted territory. By the time Stevie Ray Vaughan emerged in the 1980s, the blues was in desperate need of revival. Vaughan became the torchbearer, blending the rich traditions of Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Otis Rush with the soulful innovations of Lonnie Mack and the boundless creativity of Hendrix. His playing was simultaneously rooted in the past and unafraid of the future, reigniting a genre that had been left to smolder. With his Stratocaster in hand, Vaughan’s style fused technical precision with a raw, untamed power that breathed new life into the blues. Taking on “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” was a natural choice for Vaughan, a lifelong Hendrix admirer. The track, originally recorded in a spontaneous studio session after a jam packed day at Electric Ladyland, became one of Hendrix’s defining statements. A storm of rhythm and sound that captured the spirit of rock at its most unrestrained. SRV’s rendition honored that legacy while reinterpreting it through his own blues-drenched lens. From the thunderous opening chords to his soaring, incendiary solo, Vaughan made the song his own, proving that the legacy of “Voodoo Child” is as timeless and powerful as the forces it was meant to evoke.

I don’t think we improved air travel!

If you’re like me, then you’ll get angrier and angrier with each swipe. It’s hard to fathom how we went from 8-course meals and having cocktail dance parties on Pan Am flights to getting treated like sheep, paying $12 for a Coke, enduring no legroom, and having flights habitually delayed. 😤✈️ The Golden Age of Aviation shows exactly how things can go wrong when government deregulates an industry. For the record, the U.S. deregulated the airline industry in 1978 … and we now have what we have. 🤷‍♂️

“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’”
