I had no earthly idea Stevie Ray Vaughan was buried at Laurel Land Cemetery.. my little granddaughter died back in 1992 when she was only 3 months old and is buried there as well .. I never even noticed the little Island of sorts he is buried at .. thank you for such wonderful history on all your stories you do .. as always a job well done .
Hi Lamont, I admire the respect you always show the deceased.. Stay blessed.
Retired Dallas police officer here who worked in the Oak Cliff sector. I remember learning about JD Tippet in the academy. Most people don’t know his story so Thank you for bringing it to light. I was working the night of the murder of the young man for his Mustang. I remember hearing the call come out and the description of the suspects. We had Oak Cliff crawling with cops. Again, Thank you for some of the stories from this cemetery. Lots of history there.

Tuberculosis wiped out most of my grandmother’s family in the 1930s and 1940s. She was orphaned at 12 and isn’t sure how she never got sick, when almost everyone else did and died. She unfortunately witnessed how sick her parents got; it was brutal.

Hi Lamont! In the winter of 1952 I was probably about 18-19 months old riding standing in the back seat and some how the door I was standing next to came open and I fell out on a gravel road going up a hill to my grandparents. Thank the good Lord the I only got road rash. My parents said that seat belts weren’t even thought of by them let alone in the car.

I have a very good story about someone buried there, it’s a tear jerker but he was an amazing little boy that died at the age of seven.
Sadly, people don’t want to work, they would rather take what isn’t theirs rather than earn it. I feel so bad for the gentlemen who lost his life even after giving up his car.

Beautiful cemetery. I visited Stevie Ray Vaughan's gravesiite several years ago. I cried when we lost him because I knew there wouldn't be any more music. I miss the music he didn't get to create. And yes he's in the top five...not ten.
SRV was an absolute beast on the guitar. He was a bluesman. It is an acquired taste. He was a big fan of Jimmy Hendrix also. He played some of Hendrix songs. Let's just say Hendrix would of been proud of SRV. SRV had very thick strings. This gave him a unique sound that only he could produce. I love SRV as much as Hendrix. His brother played the drums 🥁 in his band. The bass player was I believe a friend of theirs. We definitely lost a great one when his helicopter 🚁 crash. Good video Lamont. Take care.

Hi Lamont, I really like this format your doing now, walking around and telling us the story of Individuals cause of death, everyone in these cemeteries has a story and and it's nice to know what they are, I think this maybe the successful way to make your mark on filming the walking tours of our countries graveyards. To know about the people as you walk through and look at the markers it's nice to know who they were in life, not just the celebrities and famous graves. I know it must take a lot of research and work to make this type of video, but you'll reap the benefits of your work with many new subscribers ❤

Straight on Lamont. TB is still a very serious ailment. Although, much more treatable today. Way back, it was a death sentence. It took the life of my grandmother on Mom's side back in 1947. Of course, I never got to meet Grandma Tulia. Mom was only 12 when her Mom passed. Mom now rests for past nine years, a few spaces away from her Mom and Dad and twin sister, Peggy Lou. Peggy passed in 1937 when her and Mom were only two. Rheumatic fever I think it was. Another treatable ailment anymore, I think.

Great vid Lamont, really interesting info. Tippets wife said he called her and asked if she could make him lunch that day, he rarely came home for lunch. She got to see him one last time - shortly after leaving home he was killed.
For the boy who fell out of the car and fractured his skull, in 1953, there were no seat belts or child seats. And car doors did not automatically lock when the car was in motion.
Thank you for sharing these stories. I’ve always feel a sense of sadness when visiting the graves of friends and family. I end up walking around and visiting others whom I don’t know, but I’m always filled with this sense of loss. Most often they are not famous, but they lived among us and they do have their own stories. Watching your vlog, actually gave me a small feeling of closure as you explained their passings. There is a beautiful small cemetery in Santa Paula, California where there is a high number of teen deaths from the 50’s and 60’s. It pains me as I imagine what brought on their passings. As I get older, my visits to various cemeteries has increase since family and friends have now crossed. I’m finding I’m feeling much more fortunate in my appreciation of life. I imagine your vlogs have taken on a new meaning for a lot of us. Blessings, and be safe. I’m Alex from Los Angeles.
SRV was 1 of the BEST artists of all time, you are right. LOVE his music. Gone too soon!
SRV may be the greatest guitarist to ever do it. He's top 3 without a doubt. Excellent video as always.
I loved Stevie Ray playing the guitar,the best.
Stevie Ray definitely a blues guy. Take a listen to his rendition of “Little Wing.”

I'm a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan, when I saw him play I had to hear and watch every singgle video and interview of Stevie and Jimmie Vaughan just to learn every single thing about his life. He inspired me to get clean and stay clean for over 30 yrs. He was such an amazing guitarist and singer I've ever seen, he had so much love and respect for everyone. It's hard to believe that the pilot had just failed his test on using the gages for that helicopter, he never flew at night and he never flew that helicopter before but to let him fly the greatest guitarist of all time floors me. Thank you for doing this for all his fans like me, I could talk about Stevie all day. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the GOAT, he will always be #1 in my book.
