Dad is a big music fan and one of the styles of music he enjoys is the blues. He discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan quite a while ago and he's been a fan ever since. SRV has alway been closely associated with Austin, having moved here when he was 17. He grew up playing in Austin and formed his bands here, with the area pretty much being his home base throughout his life. SRV died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin at the age of 35 and is buried in the Dallas area (where he was born). Austin has a memorial statue of SRV down by the river and Dad recently went down to take a look.
