My father had the same operation back in the 70’s years later on this death bed he said “I always thought I was going to die of a heartache”. His heart never did fail after that operation. Cancer got him. Wishing you the best Jimmy, play on and enjoy your family time.
@@curbozerboomer1773Look man, SRV And Jimmy are not in a competition. Just Enjoy the music. and Jimmy taught Stevie how to play and Stevie from there made his name and so did Jimmy in his own right. Both came from same Music Genre and had different journey. Instead of looking who is legend, they both gave us a great memories and musical experience. Can you imagine being Stevie big brother and losing him and still be able to sing about him. that's who Jimmy Vaughan is.
@@curbozerboomer1773 the comparison thing is a little tiresome thee days. Jimmie IS a legend by his own means. He was actually 'famous' before Stevie.
Man people always talk about SRV and they should as well. He is a personal Guitar Hero of mine. But what they don't realise is how big of an inspiration Jimmie was in his early years. Had it not been for this man, we might have never heard of Stevie as a Musician. JRV is a stellar Musican songwriter in his own rights.
So happy Jimmie’s doing well. My father had quadruple bypass at age 70, and another at age 80. Both surgeries added many high quality years to his life, so hoping it does the same for Jimmie.
Oh Praise God 👍🏻all that man knows Is Given By our Creator. My Dad Had it Also . He Lived longer Than most of all his Family - they Had Heart Disease- and Many Passed. 😞
I was lucky. I didn't have a heart attack or any symptoms, but because of my age (61 then ----2012) my doctor recommended a stress test. Long story short, I also had a quad bypass, and after 6 months, returned to my band who had waited for me, and to my taekwondo class, who had not. Bless Jimmie, and I recommend a heart stress test for anyone 50 or older. You might feel great, but so did I, even though I was a heartbeat away from dropping dead.
I think he does from other musicians (and their audiences), but traditional blues music is far outside the musical mainstream these days. A couple years ago, Texas Flood: The Inside Story of SRV authors Alan Paul and Andy Aledort, did an online group chat to promote the book, and their perspective on Jimmie’s career was insightful. (That entire hour-long chat is interesting and worth a listen, full of insight on the SRV world.)
I'm so glad Jimmie was able to have the heart surgery and is doing well now. I always enjoy hearing his recorded music and look forward to seeing him in concert.
Usually health news about our loved musicians is not good, often the worse. So great to hear and see JLV doing well and planning to continue blessing the music world with his incredible gift. BEST AND PEACE
Jimmy Vaughan was one of the finest people I met in a 40 yr career as a Canadian promoter/festival owner/radio DJ, ever! Gave his entire bands rider to the stage crew, at one of my festivals, in London Ontario. So glad you’re on the mend, brother! Peace
I grew up listening to family style by the Vaughan Brothers when it first came out. I have fond memories taking long trips with my mom and listening to that album. And I still put it on from time to time for The nostalgia it gives me
I went to a big Blues revue show a few years back that included Jimmy's trio (B-3, drums and him), BB King, Ruth Brown, Colin James. Vaughan's band stole the entire show. I was so impressed.
Jimmy, Stevie, Doyle, and a lot of others came from that area around Dallas, Stevie and Jimmie are world musical Treasures, people like Jimmy and Stevie do not come along very often, it's great that Jimmy will live on to play and Stevie naturally, he will live on through his music, our "best wishes" to Jimmy and others involved with him,...
God Bless you Jimmie. I was so blessed to hear you in 2022 at the MIM in Scottsdale, AZ. I can not wait for your return. My quad bypass was back in 2008 and am still alive and picking! Your fan Bruce!
I had a quintuple (5) bypass in 2012 and spent 9 days in the hospital...it basically ruined my singing voice due to 20 tubes shoved down my throat but it did save my life....it really takes the wind out of your sails...
You ARE Special Jimmie - GOD🙏BLESS YOU!! I Am Sure Stevie, Your Mom & Dad & Uncles Were All There Pulling For You! My Dad, Who Was Also Diabetic, Had A QUINTUPLE Bypass Operation In His Early 70's Too - Lived 5 More Years!! You Look Great & SOUND Great!! Those Tough Vaughan Genes!! I'm So Glad You Are Still Singing The Blues & A Belated But VERY🥳HAPPY🎂, HEALTHY BIRTHDAY!!!🎉
Jimmy has always been a very somber man. Plenty of shows didn't turn out as great as they might have. But he plays on! That's the Jimmy we'll all still come to see! Been doing it longer than damn near anybody.
@@margaretmoore-xm7zv Didn't have that luxury, but Milwaukee has a pretty decent lakefront music festival called Summerfest. Seen him there with the T birds. Unfortunately, there were enough technical problems to piss him off to the point of not continuing. Every man has his breaking point. That day he'd had enuff.
Jimmie Lee Vaughan is not only one of my all-time favorite guitar players, but he's also one of the greatest blues guitar players in the history of the genre! It's hard to watch this good-looking dude age, but, I'm happy to see him still playing and I'm proud that I've watched him play live. Keep up the good work Brother Vaughan! Much love, respect, and admiration.
My memories of seeing both him and Stevie play in person, along with other Blues greats, keeps me going now as I never hear anyone listening to the genre anymore. Just hip hop and rap everywhere. Makes me sad. The Blues will always hold my heart.
Jimmie, The loss of a brother never goes away. I lost my younger brother the November before you lost Stevie and I have learned how to survive but there are days that hit me like a ton of bricks. Great to hear you are in better health these days. Keep on pickin’ brother!
2020 at 57 I went through the same thing, playing blues on my Stratocaster helped me get through it, I feel like I am 28 now, hang in there Jimmy, God bless you.
Nice to hear some good news and see Jimmie doing well. I got to see him in SF when he opened for Eric Clapton. He put on a great show, great music. Hope many more happy times ahead for him. Take care - have a good one.
I'm glad your still with us Jimmy. Sometimes life isn't fair or right but you definitely got a second chance. My Apartment Managers 40 year old son died in his sleep and I see what it's done to her. I also picked up the guitar again and your right it's like going to church. Its my serenity and peace. All the stress and crap leaves my body for a couple of hours and I feel refreshed afterwards. I should've put down the other things instead of my guitar. Won't happen again. Peace Jimmy. Loved your brother.
WOW! I had the honor of seeing him play in CT just prior to this and hadn’t heard anything about his heart attack until now. Prays be with you Jimmy and I hope to catch you on tour again soon.
To me Jimmie Vaughan and the Thunderbirds should be considered a Texas Treasure! "Tough Enough" should be the State's theme song! Love You Jimmie! ♥♥🎸👍
So great Jimmie came through ok. Would love to see him perform in person sometime. It's sad but perfectly understandable hearing about how Stevie's death still affects him on certain days....
Jimmie is my hero, what a freaking humble righteous gentleman. Saw him a few years back and can't wait to see him out again, will fly anywhere to see him.
Jimmie is great, he plays the guitar just right, beautiful tone, very tasteful, honoring the blues and rock’n’roll tradition. Love Jimmie, may he play for many years.
Congrats on a new lease on life. We all need that-one way or another-sooner or later. It’s great to see him hit the ground running and making the most of his renewed health.
Jimmy. The first time I saw Steve was at CCCC Portland, Maine 1985. Only 500 people showed up. They didn't turn the lights out for an hour. Stevie sat on the edge of the stage and hung out with us. The next year? Sold out. I saw him with You and the thunderbird. You two playing together, you could tell you were related. Good music.
He's The Man. My favorite blues player by far. Any weekend I wasn't working I would drive from Dallas to Austin to watch him play. Now I drive from Nashville down to Austin ( C-Boys) to hear him play. And it's always worth it. I, along with so many others, am glad to call him a friend.
Just saw Jimmie and the Tilt a whirl. last night in Patchogue NY He Looked Great and powered through the whole show. Glad he is Touring! An American Blues Treasure my friends.
Strange Pleasure is one of my very very favorite CDs. So much so that I go for long periods without playing it so it doesnt get burnt out for me. I got the heart stuff too and it is imperative to study up on what supplements can help you out while not avoiding prescriptions. Nutrition is huge and so is not eating too much bad foods.
I saw the Fabulous Thunderbirds with Jimmy in about 1991 in a small club in Australia. It was about a 45 degree Celsius day. And the night wasn’t much better. Particularly in a small overcrowded club. He was phenomenal. One of my most treasured live performances.

Jimmie is a legend! Wishing him a full n speedy recovery
Jimmy is a "legend" only because his brother became so famous. Jimmy is a good guitarist...SRV was a great one. There is a difference, folks!
Not true, Jimmie is a legend in his own right
@@curbozerboomer1773Look man,

Agreed!
As a teen, I grew up listening to and seeing him all over the Dallas, TX area. He was a prodigy at the age of 17.
So happy Jimmie’s doing well. My father had quadruple bypass at age 70, and another at age 80. Both surgeries added many high quality years to his life, so hoping it does the same for Jimmie.

Glad you pulled through Jimmie! Godspeed your recovery.
This guy does not get enough credit regarding the great blues guitarist he really is. And he can sing the blues as well.
He really has mastered the style, Iistening to his playing transports you to another World.
I think he does from other musicians (and their audiences), but traditional blues music is far outside the musical mainstream these days.

Uh, NO….
Great guitarist? You must be joking.
DAMNED RIGHT BOSS!!!

We are running out of legends and we just can't lose Jimmie. Thank you so much doctors for fixing him! 👏

Saw them open for hank Jr in89. They were fantastic. One of the best live performances I ever saw. Way better than hank.
Be well Mr. Vaughn. It was a pleasure meeting you last summer after a show in Missouri. You're a true gentleman.
I grew up listening to family style by the Vaughan Brothers when it first came out. I have fond memories taking long trips with my mom and listening to that album. And I still put it on from time to time for The nostalgia it gives me
I love this record too.
Great CD- Great Memories 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My grandpa had the same one. and m dad had a triple bypass. love the vaughan family Jimmie Stevie And Tyrone.
I love you , Jim - I still cry sometimes too -
A bit of good news for a change, that cheered me up knowing Jimmie is now in better health, and long may it continue.
I'm happy that you are OK jimmie wish stevie was with us keep rocking the blues jimmie 👌👌👌🎸🎸🎸

My quadrule bypass was the best thing to happen to me at 60 years old. I'm fine now. Get yourself checked out people

Nice one Jimmy, don't stop playing cos you sound better than ever!

He is a really great blues guitarist and singer.
