I asked him about why the album cover didn’t have a picture of him playing “Number 1” though I just said it was his main guitar. He said “cuz that’s the one I was playin’ when they took the picture” and laughed. My friend Jimmy told me he would buy me a case of beer if I mentioned his name. I did and he was a man of his word. I said “me and my buddy Jim are your biggest fans at the University of Nebraska” and that got me a case of Budweiser. Those were awesome times. I never got an autographed album though. My friend who worked doing sound for an entertainment show worked a segment where he was interviewed and got me an autograph. Personalized to me and everything. He had never asked for an autograph from anyone before but got one for me because he knew how much of a fan of SRV I am. That is a treasured possession.
Cool story!
