Here is one of my favorite videos of Duane Allman. This is from quite a few years ago. The video features Duane Allman and Derek Trucks having a guitar battle. Derek is 13 in this video!! It goes to show that anything is possible! Fun Fact! Mr Soule, the Marine Bio teacher actually saw Derek play when he was 13!

250-273 Up to this point in the book, I have followed Stevie's career up to his break down. Stevie since the beginning of his career got very involved with all sorts of different drugs and alcohol.

It was unfortunate that Stevie decided to use drugs and not the method of simply sleeping as it wore his health down until he had a breakdown.

I thought for this quick burst blog, I would share a song that really changed the way that I look at music.

This song embraced the soul of the blues and the technicality of the jazz, which I did not know that I would like until later on. From this song, I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan and immediately fell in love with the blues.
