Here's a Dub story. Back in 1990 when I was serving at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage AK I had a part time gig with a company that catered most events at Sullivan Arena where not only was The Great Alaska Shootout played but also where pretty much every concert took place at the time there. In the summer there was this guy named Stevie Ray Vaughn that came through for a concert date. Even though i considered myself a pretty big music fan I'd never heard of him. 90% of the staff at this company was Filipino so my boss who was a Filipina would always have me be the head waiter for most guests. I waited on Stevie and his band. They were all very cool and treated me well. About a month later he died in the plane crash

Was a huge SRV fan from the time I heard a bootleg recording from the late 70s of him playing with his first band ( Triple Threat Revue with Lou Ann. Barton on lead vocals). Saw him in Toledo a week before the crash at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. Surprised you hadn't heard of him that close to his death....by that time he was a worldwide star in the Blues and blues/rock world getting heavy play on most rock radio stations.

Me having always been a music lover it is odd but I can kind of explain way. From 1980 to that point I lived in places where the radio options were limited and we never had cable TV so anything I heard was either top 40, something from my father's record collection or something a friend turned me onto. For some reason SRV was never in the mix. Afterward though I began listening exclusively to the classic rock station there in Anchorage and I got to know his hits fairly well. Never did a deep dive on him though.
