One day in 1980, before Stevie Ray became a success he went to a pawn shop where he fell in love with a beat up 1965 Fender Stratocaster they had for sale. Excited he told his wife about it and about the price of $350. They didn't have $350 to spend on another guitar. But Lenny thought about Stevie Ray's birthday that was coming up soon and asked several friends each to put $50 into her idea and finally bought the guitar. Together with friends she presented new guitar to Stevie Ray for his birthday at a gig that SRV played with his band that night. Stevie was excited like a little kid. like a little kid, he stayed up all night sitting on the side of his and Lenny's bed playing new guitar. In the morning she played a new song on his new guitar and said "That's 'Lenny.'" This was first song he wrote on new guitar, instrumental love song to his beloved wife.
