Hi Guys
This is a long shot...Really hope some American friend can help me out please?
My name is Steve, 52 from London England, now live out in the sticks in Cambridgeshire.
I'm an intermediate Classical Guitar player but like the title says am a MASSIVE SRV fan!
I want to visit Texas next year, this for me will be a real bucket list 'one-off' trip of a lifetime thing.
I'd like to go to Austin to see Stevies statue, then visit Antoine's famous club, any other Blues clubs associated with him, then see the SRV and Double trouble Museum there.
Then after this, I'd want to move on to Dallas, bus, or train? to see Stevie's final resting place at Laurel land to pay my respects to this great Man, it would be an honor for me, something I would remember my whole life. My HUGE regret is I never discovered Stevie until about 5 years ago! I'd obviously heard his name but unfortunately was ignorant at the time, I believe he passed when I was around 23 years old, 1990, at that time we in the UK heard very little Blues on the radio or TV. So it's my loss for sure.
I went to Pensacola and Jacksonville visiting friends back in 2003 so have a little experience of traveling in the USA. But as the US is HUGE, Texas i'm guessing would be a different ball game so to speak.
I'm looking at a trip lasting Two weeks. Could any kind American please advise on the way to plan out such a trip? or advise me on any routes I should take, or places to go/ stay?
ANY information would be VERY much appreciated. I will be traveling alone.
Many Thanks in advance.
Steve.
