This post is kinda’ strange…. I say that because a few hours before this, a friend came by and we plugged in and played mostly blues. We were discussing various guitarist and SRV came up and we specifically talked about this particular video and the Albert King/SRV session Toby posted the link to. The force was strong tonight!
