I remember that day very well. I was working in a warehouse, listening to the radio. They initially thought it was Clapton and there were hours of speculation. I went to lunch and was eating BK in my car, glued to the radio, when they confirmed it was SRV. Not afraid to say it, but I balled. His playing changed my life. I was 14yrs old when I heard Pride and Joy on the radio. I knew I had to be able to do that and went to the closet and got out my sisters old acoustic guitar. 28 years later I still play almost every day.
