It has taken all these years for me to appreciate Stevie Ray Vaughn. Just by chance, I found a tape of his Montreaux performance on cable last night and couldn't walk away. What I heard before was noise, but what I heard last night was wicked and wonderous.

Today on The Mountain, and for the next few days, they are having a Tom Petty extravaganza in preparation for his performances next week.

Mm-mmh!
