HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMI HENDRICKS!

 

“I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.” ~ Jimi Hendrix



The legendary guitar-man was born on this day, November 27th 1942 and died September 18th 1970. 

Despite limited mainstream exposure, he is widely considered to have been the greatest electric guitarist in the history of popular music, and one of the most important musicians of the 20th century.

I think  it is amazing that a musician who was really only actively making music from 1963-1970 could become such an icon.

  Are you spending your time wisely?  Are you honing your skills?  Are you focused?

Jimi's time was short, but his flame was bright.  Happy Birthday Jimi!

Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix

He is still an enourmously popular figure with the younger generation of guitar players Kathy. My son is a musician and Jimi Hendrix was his idol growing up.

I just saw the Moody Blues in concert Sunday night and they brought up Jimi Hendrix in conversation. He made an impact on so many musicians. It was an incredible time for rockers.

Happy Birthday Jimi!  There is a statue on Broadway here in Seattle wiht him on his knees wailing out on his guitar and it always makes me smile.

I wanted to see Jimi Hendrix in concert in 1969... some friends offered me a ride to Charlotte.   I was only 13, my Mom said, "No way!" 

  Jimi was gone a year later.

There isn't a rock guitarist alive that hasn't been influenced by Jimi. The mark he left on the music world is indelible. Great tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Kathy.
