Stevie
I thought I would start the month off a little different this time. Does the name Stevie automatically put you into the category of music legend? I've been privelaged enough to see both Stevie Nicks and Stevie Wonder perform in person. Both were unbelievable experiences. Unfortunately, I was too young to really know and appreciate SRV before he passed in 1990.
Each one is a master of their instrument. Nicks with the voice, SRV with the guitar, and Wonder with the keys. Of course the presence too. Each one has that indescribable something that just makes your jaw drop every time.
Stevie Nicks I was fortunate enough to see with Tom Petty when she made a special appearance at a show in Vancouver, WA a few years back. When we got there we heard a rumor she might be there performing that night, but didn't believe it until she came on stage. They performed a few Petty tunes and some Fleetwood Mac and left us speechless.
Stevie Wonder, I had the honor to see perform live at Edgefield a few Summers ago. What an awesome night and one of the best performances I have ever seen. The soul that man plays with, you can tell he just feels the music, no other way to describe it.
If you don't want to be hounded with updates like this, just let me know and I'll stick to clothing and shoe posts.
