People really do make pilgrimages from all over the world to see this tribute to Austin's native blues-rock son. Even more telling, the locals still do, too. It can't give us the outstanding guitarist's Texas lightning fingers in action, but this statue by XXXXXX does give us some of his dignity and his soul. R.I.P. Stevie.
