These were our mariachi suits we had made for Carnegie Hall.  The band’s were blue velvet, and Stevie’s was red.  The other guitar player was Johnny "Clyde" Copeland, a great guitar player and friend of Stevie’s from Houston.  Stevie was very picky about who he let share the stage with him.  However if he respected someone, and liked where they were coming from musically ("being real" as he called it), he wanted people to hear them.
