I love Jimi.

I can't play like him, never will, and I don't have talent.

But I can dream.

How many dreams has this man inspired?

Now what y'all got?

Post up your Jimi thoughts, rants. pics, and video flicks.

I don't play jimi like jimi, either... And it's cool, because I play jimi like myself.

I think everyone who likes rock music will understand him at some point.

A genius holding a strat upside down.

To be honest I didn't like his music when I was a kid, but the older I got the deeper the appreciation I have for him.

Thank you Texas Blues (and Jimi) for enriching my day with this post! Never forget that moment... I was in eighth grade when I added to my album collection "Midnight Lightning".....My soul was opened and I found my purpose. Jimi continues to expand my world in such a positive way....genius is an overused adjective...but is so fitting for Hendrix's legacy.

Thanks again T.B.

Found this on another site.

Just Jimi working it out in his apartment.

Holy shit n' shinola that is an incredible find.

Straight to my list of favorites on my Mac.

The Voodoo Chile/Cherokee Mist 'thang got some serious biz old school Muddy vibe goin' on along

with some John Lee Hooker.

Jimi was a master of tossing all kind of styles into a blender and making it his own 'drank.

Have mercy!
