> Jimmie Vaughan was at the legendary club Tuesday
night to pay his respects to Antone. He may join in the tribute on
Wednesday. Antone named Jimmie Vaughan and The Fabulous Thunderbirds
as his first house band. And, Jimmie's brother, Stevie Ray, also got
his start in Antone's club.
> "I never thought I'd be standing here doing this. I can
guarantee the shockwave is still sort of happening and it's hard to
talk. I just want to send out condolences to Susan [Antone's sister]
and everybody in our little blues community that loved Clifford so
much. And thank you, Clifford, for everything I guarantee you, we
had more fun in Antone's in all the different ones, starting down here
on Sixth Street, than any human was allowed to have in five
lifetimes," Vaughan said.
> Stevie Ray Vaughan Clifford literally
brought the blues to Austin allowing Vaughan and company to meet the
old legends.
> "We had some bands and we were playing around and we used to go
over Clifford had a store over by the university and we'd go over
there and play late at night in his back room And Clifford said,
`I'm going to open a club up and I'm going to get all the guys from
Chicago and all the guys from Louisiana We're going to have blues
all the time and nothing else.' And so we played like the second or
third night. It was the Thunderbirds and we were the house band for
five years," Vaughan said.
> Clifford taught me one thing, Vaughan said, "If you want to have a
scene, you have to create it yourself."
