Angela Strehli about SRV:
Back at the old Antone's in Austin, Stevie was going to start Double Trouble, and he realized that he should start trying to sing. I used to do "Texas Flood" regularly, so he choose that song, and it was really cute, he asked me if I would teach it to him. Of course, that became the title cut of his first record, and after it became so popular, I felt good. But after that the song was so much identified with him that I stopped doing it. Stevie absolutely changed music that we call the blues as far as the whole worldwide acceptance and enthusiasm for it. And he singularly did that with his incredible devotion to the blues and his incredible talent on guitar and what he gave in every performance. As soon as he started getting recognition, he immediately thought of other people such as myself in terms of helping out on a couple of really nice occasions. Anywhere you go in the world, people have so much adulation for Stevie. He really touched people.
