I was wondering around North Park mall in Dallas, Texas in the early 90's, with a large group of friends. The mall was great but was beginning to show signs of deterioration. Since it was built to large at that point. Contractors always get so ambitious. My friends and I were attending an art school near by, and by that point nothing seemed to surprise me anymore. I had seen bands like Pantera, Outrageous, Eric Johnson all playing locally. But the start that I was soon to see was bigger than all of them.
Through the corner of my eye SRV came strolling by with his girlfriend. He had the black had on and the peacock feathers protruding out of the top. The slinky scarves and all that stuff on. In my back pocket I had a lyric book, and I pulled that out and got my nerve up. I saw him over on some stairs approving his girlfriends wardrobe in an outlet store. And walked over as a 19 year old kid, with amazingly long beautiful hair. He signed my book "Keep it up!" and I gladly went on my way. Thank you SRV!
