I want to take a moment to share a beautiful clip that Alan sent us of Stevie Ray Vaughan performing with his brother Jimmie. Jimmie was three years older than Stevie and was his first big musical influence.
As you know, our film is about a musician who loses his older brother/bandmate in a tragic accident. Of course The Skylark is fiction, but the story of Stevie Ray Vaughan sadly is not. Jimmie’s younger brother overcame a drug and alcohol abuse problem only to die tragically in a helicopter crash in 1990. He was 35 years old.
Thanks for the clip, Alan.
