That's impressive that you have been in the business and mixed with some of the greats. If you don't mind me asking, who did you play with?Any one who knows my post history on here will know my predeliction for the Wicker Man and Hendrix, so indulge me for a moment.
I was looking at some you tube Hendrix stuff. I am now 65 years of age and lived the sixties, I know for real what it was like. I have been a professional musician since my teens, worked with the best and learned all the tricks.
However, when I get into conversation with colleagues, they all say Hendrix was inimitable and we will never see his like again, and I tend to believe them.
Am I plowing a lone furrow here? I tend to think not, having discussed this at length with people like Richard Thompson, Clapton, Ritchie Blackmore, Johnny Winter, Pete Townsend et al.
Am I still wasing my life worshipping the man or what?
I have always believed that Hendrix was the greatest innovating guitar player that ever lived. My top 5 would be Hendrix, Page, Steve Hackett, BB King, Steve Howe.
