Agree Bloozehound, I was a huge fan over the years. Saw him play for the first time in Paradiso Amsterdam september 9 1983. That concert is still in my top 5 best-concerts-ever-list. |

I remember that day too...I heard it on the radio while I was driving to school (OU)...I started crying, and had to pull over and skip classes for the day.
Here's to Stevie! |

i always play this song in every single jukebox i find it on. it was a favorite of a friend, who sadly, isn't around anymore. it's one of my favorites too...
Life By The Drop
Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was til the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You're livin our dream oh you on top
my mind is achin,' Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens livin life by the drop
Up and down the road in our worn down shoes
Talkin about good things and singin the blues
you went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time
You're livin our dream oh you on top
my mind is achin,' Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens livin life by the drop
No wasted time, we're alive today
Churnin up the past, there's no easier way
Time's been between us, a means to an end
God it's good to be here walkin together my friend
We're livin our dreams
my mind's stopped achin,'
That's how it happened livin life by the drop
That's how it happened livin life by the drop
That's how it happened livin life by the drop

I remember that day very well. I heard it on the radio while I was driving home from work. It was a shock. I saw him the year before in a small club in Hamburg/Germany. He gave has best in a 1 and a half hour show.
