~ Jimi ~

I loved his music, and I got to see him live in Milwaukee with my brothers..Amazing performance!!! He was dressed in red and had a red bandana on his head... Nobody could play like him in my book!!!

 

Had he lived, Jimi Hendrix would have celebrated his 70th birthday today. The legendary musician single-handedly revolutionized the electric guitar during the late 1960s. His incredibly inventive and dexterous playing, mixed with his effects experimentation, charismatic stage persona, and flamboyant style helped make him one of the most revered and influential rock artists of all time.

 

Jimi only released three studio albums while he was alive, but those records continue to inspire and challenge listeners and musicians to this day. Sadly, he was only 27 when he died from asphyxiation.

 

Note: I didn't take these photos..I wish I would have been in to photograpy back then!! ; ) Happy 70th Jimi..RIP ♥
