Today's exactly 35 years since Jimi left us. But then I don't really think his fans had to be reminded... Not the happiest things to share but here my pics of the house and basement flat where he passed away. Thought that his fans who have never been there wanted to see it.
"Turn, turn, w'ere turning again". "We can jump in the bathub with that other guy Jim and tell him to be more careful". "We can visit Mama, and pat her on the back when she eats her sandwich" "We can visit dear Janis when she gets so depressed she can't take it no more". "We can laugh at Keith Moon's jokes (ha ha) and the color T.V. he threw out the window from the second floor" "We can go back in time, we can do it all again....." "Turn, turn, we're turning again".
Clapton was an excellent guitarist, and so was Jimi... I love them both equally, as for who was technically better... I'm not fussed at all
I should get the new Hendrix at Woodstock Special Edition DVD in a couple of days! I'm very excited to see this concert in it's remastered glory!
Cheers Jimi, we were lucky to have you for a moment. As part of my love for his music, I added a large section of Machine Gun to one of the tunes we did in our gig this weekend as an impromptu jam. Great pics of the house too, thanks.
"Well it's too bad that our friends, can't be with us today" He will without a doubt be truly remembered by all whom he inspires. Much love.... Letter To The Room Full Of Mirrors 4:30 - 6:00 am Denver, Colorado September 2, 1968 ...alone Let's see now..."It wasn't too long ago, but it feels like years ago since I felt the warm hello of the sun...lately things..." And then he was interrupted by the slow motion speeded-up sound that sometimes cut so deep. That sound was from those cellophane typewriters - exactly, constantly from the south side of those carpets. And but anyway Sweet Rome was on my mind. "She gave so sweetly..." And on he walked until after crowning Ethel the Dog the Only Queen of Ears, the sky cracked wide open and split many of his brothers' and sisters' heads all over the world apart at approximately the same time... "That's law and order," said the Border Guard, as his hard head weighted something like wet bread - Which to explain through brain rain as that's...well...Bro, is this here country all that much ahead? And said the owner of the velvet horse who saw all this... "I just know that I'm gonna get involved here" and slqms the machine into reverse, splitting both suns apart in doing so probably. He got to Fantasy Fjords on the hurry up side and also can you dig... Oh Oh! watch that stick, and judge your distance from that blue seude kick !! (Swisshhh Knock...!?!!..) Anyway, can you dig that something came by here not too terrible long at all...I was bathing my eye...Just a thousand feet above those same old tired skies and...you know, that sound there and after that, everywhere, bathed me in a physical. And he blurted out the sound burnt the side of his inner wall also passing by, and the liquid rainbow melted EROS all through hios rooms and rooms of ears that he was hiding from Ethel the Queeny. And he thumbed a lift from his head and heads straight to anywhere to tell his woman, the world; that it was physical...GASP. And (the cellophane begins to crattle and crake) his old lady, Terra Mama, jumps in his face and says, "What's physical?!" and he stutters, smiles, and retaliates with...well...er, ah...what is music m'love? PUFF PUFF. And they probably found out that it was by this time. Jimi Hendix
I was in High School when Hendrix passed on. I kept the newspaper article in my wallett for many years. Hendrix was unequalled in his guitar playing. He could make that Strat do things that were never done before or after. He could take a bad note and stretch it into magic. RIP Jimi. you were and are the BEST.
I think,Hendrix is the best guitarist, his play is just unbelivable & fantastic! He plays by his teeth!
