Hah, yeah, that's a good one.   There was a funny one about blues and blues jams as well.

Now THAT is black humor but I couldn't hold the laugh in.

By the way. It is interesting to note that Stevie Ray states in an interview that he recorded Texas Flood straight into a Dumble, one take. No pedals.

Yeah, from memory they played 12 songs straight through then took a break. After that they came back and played the same songs again and they took the best from both sessions. The Dumble would have been his 150w 'Steel String Singer'.

In terms of pedals he did use a TubeScreamer at some point on the album:

"Just one mic on everything. I used two Shure SM57s on his guitar amps—one on a Fender Vibroverb with a 15-inch Altec Lansing speaker, and one on a Dumble 4x12" bottom (with Electro-Voice speakers) connected to a Dumble head. Stevie played through two Vibroverbs, but I only miked one of the speakers in one of them. I positioned the mics about three or four inches off the cabinet at about a 45 degree angle to the cone. The only effect he used was an Ibanez Tube Screamer."
