Oak Cliff native Stevie Ray Vaughan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this past weekend.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble were inducted by John Mayer, who also inducted Vaughan’s mentor Albert King in 2013.
The member of Double Trouble gave speeches at the ceremony, which can be seen in an amateur video below. Jimmie Vaughan’s spoke on behlanf of his younger brother, and his part begins at 6:18.
Here are the highlights:
“He would be so proud, and so would my mother and father.”
“Our dad used to say ‘He’s a bad motor scooter,’ and he was. He was a bad motor scooter.”
“Mom and dad were real good swing dancers, and they loved music.” Vaughan says they had “hillbilly guitar players” on both sides of the family.
“Every day, I wake up clean and sober, and I think of my brother.”
Here is professional video of the band and Jimmie Vaughan being interviewed after the ceremony.
