Happy birthday to the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan! Your electrifying riffs and soulful voice in "Texas Flood" continue to echo through generations, reminding us all what true blues mastery sounds like. From your unforgettable solos at Montreux Jazz Festival to that iconic performance on Austin City Limits, you've left an indelible mark.Even today, aspiring guitarists everywhere strive (and often hilariously fail) attempting those lightning-fast licks you effortlessly delivered night after night. Thanks for setting a bar so high it keeps musicians humble—and fans endlessly entertained trying their best air-guitar impressions of your greatest hits. Keep rockin' up there!
