In Memory of Jimi...

[BeatleChick]

It was on today, Sept 18, in 1970, that we lost the great Jimi Hendrix. He was only 27 years of age. He gave so much to this world through his music during his short time here, and for that, we will forever be indebted to him.

He was a gentle soul, a cosmic man, and a friend to many (including Linda Eastman, Macca, and Carlos Santana's future wife, Deborah...) Not to mention, a genius and a rock god!!!


So... today... let's remember the man, James Marshall Hendrix, for all the wonderful things that he gave us.


We love ya, Jimi, and we miss ya!

Superb, BeatleChick! We will not see the likes of another Jimi again. Immortal!

Jimi is second on my list, untouchable on the guitar. I was just up in Seattle and I visited his memorial there, very cool.

Jimi is a legend. He is part of that special vibe that makes the 60's so mythic. He created magic.

Best guitarist ever, there are some things happening in London to remember him this week, he was one of London best finds.

Jimi was a phenomenan, pure and simple. Discovered by none other than the Animals bass guitarist Chas Chandler (who also later went on to discover Slade). The writer of many a classic, my current favourite of Jimi's is Red House on Are You Experienced. The guitar playing on that is phenomenal!

Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.

He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.

And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.

A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he
grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.

Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.

There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die.
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled

"You won't hurt me no more."
But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually
