Jimi Hendrix!
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.

This is one page from a 1968 Jimi Hendrix Concert Tour souvenir photo booklet that cost $1.50 (show was $7.00). The title of the10 page book is "The Electric Church" I've got the rest of the book on my flickr homepage. I have a Jimi Hendrix video on youtube if you want to watch it.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer. He is widely regarded as the greatest guitarist in the history of popular music and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.
aren't they just the cutest?
thanks to all of your lovely comments and faves, jimi jumped into explore at #88!!
At my café where I sip my espesso I stare at the Marilyn Monroe poster which is next to the Sgt. Pepper's poster which is next to one of Jimi Hendrix. Again I tried the focus and move the camera up and down trick and here is the result.
The little Jimi Hendrix Shrine on Union Street. It's known that Jimi's grandmother lived in Strathcona. But not too much is known about his time in Vancouver. Next door to this little building was Vie's Chicken and Steak House which was popular back in the days of Hogan's Alley

On June 18, 1967 towards the end of his iconic Monterey Pop Festival performance, Jimi Hendrix announced to the crowd that he was going to “sacrifice something I love.” After he played a version of the song “Wild Thing” he then “sacrificed” what is now known as the “Monterey Strat.”
He picked it up by the neck, waved it over his head and smashed it against the stage, breaking the body from the neck.
After Jimi “sacrificed” the guitar he threw it’s parts into the crowd and left the stage. A piece of the “Monterey Strat” is on display at the the Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle Washington.
We aren’t sure what happened to the rest of it…
