Tragic night indeed.

The changed plans to travel in a different helicopter. Plus it being such a short time after SRV had got clean and sober, and by all accounts playing better than ever ... just sort of seems such a cruel twist of fate.

I get suddenly a curious thought. I miss Steve and mourning for years. But if he did not trade places whit Eric that day we lost an other, not replaceable musician.
I am great full nobody human have to made a choice like that. An other black day in the history of the blues.

Wolfgang's Vault has a nice concert online, I guess a trial account is needed but well worth it.
