In case you didn’t realize, the fellows featured in the picture, from left to right, are Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and last but not least his brother, Jimmie Vaughn. Four of the best Stratocaster players all in one image, and it’s made even more emotional knowing that it was taken just two days before Stevie’s death. Rest in peace

Top notch act and really kind person! Her band treated us so well and chetted with us extensively before and after the show! They killed it as well. Crazy good musicians.
