Instrumental song "Lenny" is the 10th and final track from the first Stevie Ray Vaughan album Texas Flood and was dedicated by SRV to his wife Lenora. Vaughan played most of this song with his Stratocaster named "Lenny." The guitar was given to him by his wife and some close friends for his birthday.

Great video. The story about "Lenny" guitar is quite unusual, worth telling.
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.
