 It has become a popular tourist attraction, and often has flowers and other devotions at its base.
Family Style is the only studio album by the Vaughan Brothers, released on September 25, 1990.
 The album features the brethren guitarists and vocalists, Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan, in their only studio collaboration.

 The liner notes end with "Thanks Mama V. for letting us play."
Stevie Ray Vaughan's bootleg recordings are performances by Stevie Ray Vaughan that have attained some level of public circulation without being available as a legal release.

 Bootleg recordings arise from a multitude of sources, including broadcast performances, recordings of live shows, test discs, privately distributed copies of demos, and copied studio session tapes.
 From the earliest bootlegs in the early 1970s, performances for television, concerts, and studio outtakes have been extensive sources for Stevie Ray Vaughan bootlegs.
In Step is the fourth studio album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989.
 The title "In Step" can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually led Vaughan into rehabilitation.
 It was also Vaughan's final album with Double Trouble.
 In 1990, he recorded a collaboration album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, called "Family Style"; later that year, Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash.
Stephen Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer.
 In spite of a short-lived mainstream career spanning seven years, he was one of the most influential guitarists in the revival of blues in the 1980s and one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
 AllMusic describes him as "a rocking powerhouse of a guitarist who gave blues a burst of momentum in the '80s, with influence still felt long after his tragic death."
Hugh Alan Cornwell (born 28 August 1949) is an English musician and singer-songwriter, best known for being the vocalist and guitarist for the punk rock/new wave band the Stranglers from 1974 to 1990.
"Lenny" is the tenth and final track on the first Stevie Ray Vaughan album "Texas Flood".
 The song is in 4/4 time and notated in the key of E flat major (but instruments are tuned down a half-step).
 It is played very slowly and freely, with Vaughan alternating between jazz-inflected chords and solo runs.
 The main chord featured in the song is a movable Major 6th chord in which Stevie Ray Vaughan applies moderate vibrato by use of tremolo bar.
 The solos incorporate both the E major scale, E minor Pentatonic scale, and E Minor Blues scale.
 The style is influenced by Jimi Hendrix ballads like "Little Wing" and "Angel".
 The song itself was written and named for his wife at the time, Lenora.
 Vaughan also named one of his guitars "Lenny", which he used to play this song and also "Riviera Paradise".
 The song was often played at live shows.
