Dallas' Heritage Auctions is auctioning a ’51 Fender Nocaster guitar that once belonged to Stevie Ray Vaughan. (The last time a Stevie Ray guitar was sold at auction, it went for more than $600,000.) Heritage brought the Fender to the Old Monk so Tim and Zac could ogle it and talk to a Stevie Ray expert named Craig Hopkins about why Dallas doesn't fully embrace the most famous musician the city has ever produced (arguably). The podcast ends with a seldom-heard recording of Stevie Ray playing the guitar when he was about 15 years old.
