Today is the 40th anniversary of the untimely death of legendary electric guitarist Jimi Hendrix. I'd rather be commemorating the day of his birth than the day of his death, but I can do that in a couple of months' time. For now, any excuse is welcome to while away a rainy morning looking at old concert footage of the great man doing his thing on YouTube.
My favourite, this version of Red House which I just posted over on The Barstool. Go and check it out.

Hendrix Wings that his main election simply because they are more versatile, capable of much better than any Gibson sounds clear and they could talk to him in a way that Gibson could not.
Jimmy did not shoot and die. He had severe insomnia and my doctor has a prescription for a mild sedative sleep. He finished the tour of Europe, was gone and her prescription run out. A friend in Germany gave him some sleeping pills that she took her prescription dose was the same as they were not. He was given pills that were meant to be broken into 4ths essentially on sleeping pills overdosed (they were 4 times stronger), and at that time than there are now a different set of procedures for ambulance technicians has been was. Nowadays you is in your favor unless you choking to death on his own vomit to prevent it from being taken. Back then he was laid on his back and drowned in vomit on his way to the hospital. It a sad turn of events that could have been prevented.
