My son's computer desk.
In keeping with the musical theme (sort of), might I entice your earbuds to sample a little of this: 'Welcome Home' - Coheed and Cambria. And, if you are feeling a little adventurous, having mopped around the house for most of the day wondering, well... what shall I get up to now? Turn that wee volume selector up to eleven, cause this bay-bay rocks!
A page from the official program of the Second Atlanta Pop Festival,1970. This program was subject to change and it did. Everyone started late and many played at a different time from what was shown here. The music went until the early hours of each morning. I was a big fan of Jethro Tull but he was a no show. The Allman Brothers did start and end the show but I did not get any pictures of them - they were no so famous in my neck of the woods at that time. Jimi Hendrix did play on the fourth of July with a big fireworks show.
This is a contemporary photo of the original tabloid size program printed on newsprint. The 4 photos of the program in this set reflect the complete program except for some advertisements that I did not photograph.

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

I watched a really good documentary the other night about him called: -
Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child
The movie is based on Hendrix's own words from letters, interviews etc and what appears to be his scrapbook (but I could be wrong on the last point). Bootsy Collins is the voice of Jimi.
Sadly, Jimi Hendrix is (was?) a member of the so called "27 Club". I've just realised whilst typing this that some other 'members' of that notional Club feature in the Querkles 'painting by numbers' or sketch (if thats the right word) book - Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison.
One of my Top 10 favourite tracks of all time is Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". It probably stems from it being one of the many classic tracks on the jukebox in the "public house", that I sometimes used to frequent as a teenager. A while ago I rang around some of the guys who used to go in the pub in the late 1970s and tried to remember all (or most) of those tracks and make an iTunes playlist of the songs that used to blast out in there, all those years ago.

Obviously not one of my pics. Made myself a new Jimi print.
Original image sourced from internet, cropped , converted into 3 jpeg (-1.5, 0.0, +1.5) HDR , Topaz and other effects in CS3. 15 minutes of fun on a rainy Friday night...
Here is another version. I have the picture further processed, I have adjusted the light so strongly that the picture has assumed a striking character.
And because I could not decide me, which image I like better ... well .... I upload both * smile *
November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970
We want our sound to go into the soul of the audience, and see if it can awaken some little thing in their minds... Cause there are so many sleeping people.

Even though it has been several decades since Jimi passed away, the last piece of music I purchased (only this week in fact) was one of his tracks - Little Wing. I play the Stevie Ray Vaughan instrumental version quite a lot but realised that I didn’t have a digital version of Mr Hendrix’s original.
One of my favourite records of all time is Jimi’s version of Bob Dylan’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’ which is deemed to be one of the, if not THE, greatest “cover versions” ever. It reminds me so much of the bikers pub I used to frequent when I was sevent….oops I mean eighteen, when it was always blasting out of the jukebox. Several decades later, I still love it.
The chippy is in Tynemouth, about 8 miles away from where Jimi’s manager, Chas Chandler, was born. Chas was in The Animals and later went on to manage Slade. In the 1970s my father once said of Slade, “you’ll never of heard of them next year”. Which is a bit ironic given that even 40 plus years later Merry Xmas Everybody is reputed to earn its writers somewhere between a quarter and a half a million pounds in royalties every year. I once saw them live and they were brilliant. And very loud. My life is blighted by tinnitus these days. I don’t think that Noddy and the boys helped :-(
....one of my favorite musicians. Jimi is part of the club 27.
Unfortunately I never may experienced him live because he died much too early, so I could not take a picture of him. So I taked a old photo as a template and made my own picture. A smudge painting. At the smudge painting will blurs the photo until it looks like a painted picture.
