As a huge SRV fan I never forget that Jimmie (not Jimi or Albert or the other Albert or Lonnie or anyone else) was Stevie's favorite guitarist and inspiration. I love Jimmie's playing and even his singing.

I would be interested in finding that article about who played which solos on the Vaughan Bros. album - I really love that CD. Along with In Step, it proves SRV wasn't even close to finished in his musical development.

Stevie used to say that when he was finished with a show he had played about 90% of what he knew but that after a show Jimmie had played only about 10%. That speaks volumes about the respect he had for his big bro.
