Lol I haven’t seen name Mahogany Rush since the late 70’s. I liked Frank Marino better when he was on his own. Ditch Queen and Stories of a Hero would still make my list of songs for a desert island stranding.
Best live show I ever saw in 1986, at a theatre in Boston. The energy was unreal, and Double Trouble was awesome, and in awe of SRV. they shook there heads in disbelief as SRV went at it. Such a loss.......
Caught SRV and Double Trouble June 1984, at the Hollywood Palladium. Great show, not to big of a venue (relatively speaking 5,000 seats) Ahhh the memories.
Around 1983, SRV played at a tiny outside venue here in town; a beautiful, small stage in a pond in a wooded park.
This is the show where Kenny Wayne Shepherd sat on SRV’s amp and watched the man play and become inspired to play guitar.
Alas, I was too cheap to pay the $6.00 admission and tried to sneak in through the surrounding woods. Security was on to me, though, and foiled my every attempt.
I finally gave up after about an hour and left. SRV was just cranking up his strat as I started my car and drove away.
I’ve always regretted not laying down the six bucks. Geez, I was stupid back then.
One of my husband’s favorites.
True dat...
I’ve watched that one more than a few times.
SRV also played lead on Jennifer Warnes’ cover of Leonard Cohen’s “First We Take Manhattan” from the GREAT album “Famous Blue Raincoat” - aka “Jenny Sings Lenny”.

Fun fact...SRV was traveling when he was asked to play on that track. He didn’t have his guitar and had to borrow one in the studio to play.
Wow...cool story.
Good story!!!
Yeah we all been stoopid...a time or 8.
