...and too, some personal stuff about Stevie Ray Vaughan that Doyle Bramhall II said in an interview in one of those guitar mags:

Doyle says he learned the value of protecting his fingers from watching the abuse SRV subjected his fingers to. Evidently, to get the sound he wanted, SRV played using very, very heavy strings. He played so hard that he'd wear holes in his fingers. Doyle recounts an incident backstage where Vaughan was preparing for a concert. He ripped skin off other parts of his body, filled the holes in his fingers with Super Glue, and then glued 'skin pads' onto the ends of his fingers. All this just to make it through a gig. What price stardom.
