Cold shot down in Dallas tonight
Oct 21, 2009 Stëv Skye
I am one-part filled with disbelief (and some profanity) and two parts filled with ‘Pride and Joy’ to keep the Stevie Ray theme going. . .Stev Skye did not emerge victorious in Dallas tonight at the King of the Blues contest, but that’s OK – and I’m not just sayin’ that.
While it is certainly disappointing on some levels, it has been a major source of excitement for Stev and all of us friends and family who have been enjoying his King of the Blues performances for the past several weeks. For those, we say thanks, Stev! It certainly has been an exciting time, indeed.
At the end of the day, this is an end of one chapter of the story, but more importantly, the beginning to the next chapter of the Stev Skye story. To quote the great Obi-Wan Kenobi, “you’ve taken your first step into a larger world.” Not only does this re-enforce that everything I know I learned from Star Wars, but it also shows that this contest is a great stepping stone for Stev’s career. The King of the Blues contest has opened up new doors for Stev, and for all of us. In Stev’s progress and success, will and determination, we see the potential in ourselves of what could be. . .and what will be.
I can’t think of a more exciting way to bring together friends, family and fans. This proves that Stev is a great talent surrounded by an endless team of support who will be with him all the way.
And I think we’ve got a long, long way to go.
Congrats, dude. Seriously.

Eye on the Skye site update
Oct 12, 2009 Stëv Skye
The official Stev Skye website is still technically ‘under construction’ but it will be up soon. Same goes for this site. At the moment I (holySmith!) am playing with different designs based on some of the images that Stev gave me a while back. The theme that I have on the site now is just one I downloaded and plugged in to hold the spot for the time being.
We’re coming up quickly on the next round of the Guitar Center King of the Blues guitar contest. This time, it’s going to be in Dallas (the final 24). From there, it goes to the final five on November 12 at the House of Blues in Hollywood, CA. Click here to get tickets to the event.
Lots more to come, so stay tuned!
