It's an archival 11" X 17" print limited to 100 editions. Story: There's an interesting story that explains why I chose this particular photograph as the new limited edition. A good friend who'd gotten my book was telling me which were his favorites of Stevie, and the one he really loved was that particular image. He asked me what exact page it was on, and I told him I'd check. Well, it isn't in the book, although we were both convinced that it was! I looked back at the big file I'd sent TAMU Press back in 2018 with all of the image files numbered and captioned, and sure enough, it was supposed to be in the 09/02/1989 section, image number 88. I hadn't even realized, almost 3 years later, that it somehow got left out. Strange, but true, and so it seemed the obvious choice for this special product.

From 1983 until just before his death in 1990, Hart captured Vaughan as he summoned magic with his passion, his technique, his intensity, and his love and respect for the music. The result is a deeply felt visual portrait of Stevie Ray Vaughan that tells us almost as much about the photographer behind the camera as it does about the musician in front. Through Hart’s eyes and mind, readers will experience his genius in an entirely new way. Hart also provides a glimpse at Vaughan’s legacy, offering evidence of some of the next generation of guitarists who consider Vaughan a principal influence. The sum of her efforts comprises a work that offers a visual feast for guitar enthusiasts and music fans in Texas and beyond. Enjoy the photographs and remember to listen to Stevie’s music as often and as loudly as possible!” Value: $35 Starting Bid: $15 Minimum Bid Increment: $5 Buy it Now: $45 Auction held at The Big Easy on August 1, 2021 from 2-5pm The Big Easy Revival Silent Auction Item #4 Framed Gig Promo Posters Sponsored by: Steve Gilbert One H-Town Jukes poster advertising an in-store appearance at Cactus Music and one signed Steve Gilbert poster from a show at The Big Easy!
