The Sky Is Crying

12.40am, August 27th 1990 A sadness for many And the music community Stevie Ray Vaughan Chicago bound Helicopter Bell 260B Hillside it found It crashed in the fog Denying my ears To hear SRV For many years In a twist of fate It was his brother's seat Jimmy climbed down The last they would meet Tributes poured in For this guitarist gem Stevie Vai, Buddy Guy Hall of Fame Double Trouble, Southern Class Dallas Texas, brother loss Thank you SRV For the music you brought to me UNSUPPORTED CODE

SRV , pure musical talent in his soul. I was deeply saddened upon learning of his untimely death. As a huge fan of his music I knew the world had suffered a very great loss! A very fine tribute. Thanks!

Great title from one of his songs James - so many of the greats die so young but the main thing is their music lives on - seen Freddie, Robert Palmer, Phil Lynott - all late but still great so we can keep on smiling and reminiscing James:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Maybe I should have a competition relating to my near 1800 poems, and who can relate to the music connotations, there would be a prize, Chowa, James - your koolio Jan :) 4U
