Biography

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a blues rock singer, songwriter and guitarist, born October 3, 1954, in Oak Cliff, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. He married Lenora "Lenny" Bailey (aka Lenora Darlene Vaughan, born in Bakersfield, Kern, California, 4 December, 1953, dead on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, 27 July, 2018) in Austin, Texas, 23 December 1979. The struggling marriage (mostly due to Stevie Ray's alcoholism and drug addiction) ended in 1988, and he never had any children with her or anyone else. He named his guitar "Lennie" after her, though. When [a=Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble], befriended by [a=Mick Jagger] among others, played at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1982, they were the first band in the history of the festival to play without having a major record contract. The show was seen by [a=David Bowie] and [a=Jackson Browne], who invited them to his recording studio in Los Angeles where they recorded some tracks that appeared on their debut album [i]Texas Flood[/i] the following year. He also played on Bowie's [i]Let's Dance[/i]. SRV, as he became known as, died on August 27, 1990 in a helicopter crash on the way to Chicago from a concert in Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin. He is buried at Laurel Land Memorial Park in South Dallas. He was the younger brother of [a330441].

LYRICS

Went down to Tin Pan Alley....See what was going on
Things was too hot down there....Couldn't stay very long
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
I heard a woman scream....Yeah and I peeked through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a....Lord with a two-by-four
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
I heard a pistol shoot....Yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't....Shake, rattle, and roll
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standin'....with his hand on his gun
Said "This is a raid boys....nobody run"
Hey, Hey, Hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Yeah they took me away from tin pan alley
And took me right back...to the pen
