Even though I hadn't kept in contact with Stephen over the years, his passing was a real shock and even now it's hard to accept that he's not around. To me he was larger than life, framing life with unequaled Brutonian wit that charmed and dazzled,.... beyond funny! Richly eclectic. Generous, thoughtful. He'd get so excited, taken by some phrase he would later or had integrated into a song. "Like the waves upon the sand..." "I want to be diamond in the crown of creation". So terribly missed.
I wish he could have lived to see last year's Oscars and this year's Grammys. The record store interview came from my Rocking the Boat shoot and I gave it to the Lone Star Film Festival for their Stephen Bruton Award. Kris was the first recipient. I am grateful I got to know him a little.
Damn what have I missed!! Didn't learn of Stephen until after his passing. I am sure I heard and saw him from long ago because I have seen most of what is here. Just never had a name to the face. Fantastic video, thanks for posting. Keep the music alive.
Tina, great minds think alike... I was just watching this 2 days ago.
Also, I just checked out the Stephen Bruton Tribute page on MySpace. Hadn't been there for a bit. Wow! There's a good video of Stephen playing the Terraplane Blues. I hadn't see it before. Check it out. Also this Tribute video is there too among others.
