...second from the left,
Larry Hoppen...'the voice'
He died in 2012.
He was only 61!

Before he leapt this coil, he wrote a book...2006, I think...

Dayum, I wish that book had been around in 1974.
 
Backstage at Alpine Valley with Robert Cray, Eric Clapton and Jimmie Vaughan. Stevie died a few hours after this photo was taken, August 26, 1990!

Hard to believe. Probably the last photo taken of him. Eerie to see, him smiling like that, and gone such a short time after.

I still clearly recall the news on the morning of the 27th...29 years ago today.

I remember being at work and pulling that story off of the AP wire. For some reason I feel like it was a Saturday morning...

I was at work and started to get multiple calls from friends informing me of the sad news. Left work, went home, closed the curtains, and watch Live at The El Mocambo. Ironically that was the same day I became a Kentucky Colonel.

That was a sad day. I could hardly believe my ears when I heard the news. One of the true greats lost too soon.
