Jimi Hendrix ~ Panegyric

Jimi Hendrix (or James Marshall Hendrix to give him his full name) was a massively influential left-handed guitarist who burst on to the international music scene in the year 1967.Jimi was born Johnny Allen Hendrix at 10.15am on 27 November, 1942, at Seattle's King County Hospital. He was later renamed James Marshall by his father, James 'Al' Hendrix.He loved science fiction and often based his songs on interplanetary landscapes and alien wanderers. He had an incredible sense of humour, was extremely earthy and could play the blues like nobody else could. He was 'discovered' by Chas Chandler, ex-bass player from The Animals, at the Café Wha, a small venue in New York.Unable to read or write music, Hendrix used the recording studio like no artist before him. Overflowing with new ideas, Jimi's desire to preserve them on magnetic tape became an obsession. Be it hotel room demos, nightclub jam sessions recorded on his hulking Sony or Teac open reel machines, or formal sessions staged at Olympic, The Record Plant (the famous recording studio in Los Angeles) or at his own Electric Lady Studios, Jimi relished the security of having saved every single note. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Jimi and Devon Wilson Mr. Carlos Santana in some cool duds!
