12 Post(s) Found For: Jimi Hendrix

  Throughout that wild and wacky A.D. 2020, one disc seemed to somehow find itself repeatedly, and most happily so, upon the ol’ Pig Player. A disc which via a mere 21 tracks in under 69 minutes presents an ideal, not to mention idyllic picture of two musical careers which, cannily overlapping more often than […]

This book culminated in author Corey Washington’s 20-year journey in exploring and researching the impact and a complex and misunderstood relationship Jimi Hendrix experienced (no pun intended) in the black community. Jimi’s life had been documented in numerous biographies over the years since his death in 1970. However, very little has been mentioned about his […]

Days before the M3 Festival. I had a chance to talk to Autograph guitarist Steve Lynch. The band played twice at M3 Festival they played their day 2 of the M3 Festival. The best part was hearing Autograph play a short set at the after party at the Sheraton at 2 a.m. That was rock […]

  If I can just get my mind together, the first “real” concert I ever attended as a wee Canadian tyke was The Jimi Hendrix Experience at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens, fifty years ago this very night… on May the 3rd, 1969.   I’d already been a fervent fan for a couple of years, having […]

Sure, […]

In the meantime though, I remained happily singing along beneath headphones to (in strictly Alphabetical order)… EDGAR BREAU Edgar […]

  Good morning, campers! It’s your old pal Keith Moon here. You know, “Moonie,” “Moon the Loon” …or, as I very much prefer, The Greatest Rock and Roll Drummer that Ever Was, that is. Or was. I think… But I digress. Anyroad, we meet today so that I may bring your undivided attention to this […]

Let’s get one thing straight right off the top here: Jimi Hendrix was not the illegitimate mutant offspring of wild Indians, raised by wolverines deep within the celestial ice caverns of Venus’ third moon. No, Jimi – make that Jimmy – grew up in relative normality in Seattle WA, I kid you not, and his […]
