Oh yeah.....Hendrix was a huge Dillon fan......another interesting piece on Hendrix....he was the first to perform Daytripper (Beatles of course) live. I think it was an interview with Paul McCartney (sp?) who was saying the album was released one day, he decided to take in a show Hendrix was doing in London the next day, and Hendrix had gotten the song down and was performing it the next day....pretty cool...

Here's one for ya, whose band did Hendrix play in before his solo career?

McDonald

The King Kasuals

Yankee

Was it the King Kasuals or just The Kasuals?

Anyway, did you also know that Jimi Hendrix actually opened up (briefly) for The Monkees, of all bands? Didn't last long, only a few concerts - I'm sure for obvious reasons [sm=lol.gif]

McDonald

What beats me up about Hendrix is that he strung his guitars backwards since he started off with a right handed guitar being a lefty.. James Marshall Hendrix to me is the greatest guitar player in history. In fact i am naming my dog Hendrix.

Sorry forgot to answer the question....I was perusing LP's back before it was chic and trendy and before I got rid of my turntable (now regretting that decision) and ran across a Little Richard album...looked a bit closer and saw Jimi Hendrix featured in the band.......saw it later in some article...but thought it was cool that I stumbled across that gem in the wild as it were......

thought it was kind of cool little kernel...
