The greatest song ever.....

[Theta Sigma]

Good wee ole time blues tune from the inspiration of many famous bands

Apparently he was a wild man in a time Black men wee treated even more than shite than today.

Weird thing is Led zeppelin stole lot of old time blues tunes but if you put a copy of led zeppelin song on youtube video it will get shut down pronto

Wonder if leadbelly family estate got anything from Led zeppelin who stole his song

That bit of Leadbelly did my drunken heart good man, thanks I don't know which Led Zep song ripped that off though? Going to California?
Possibly?

Jimi changed the sound of music with his style, unseen and unheard
Kind of like the beatles before that, he found something in a guitar that nobody had ever done

my old bhoy was born in the early 50's, so kinda lived through the golden era of music
i've devoured lots of documentary's etc from the woodstock/LA scene.
Thanks to my old mans ear and my penchant for being stoned in my formative years, i loved that period

Lots of great stories of the time, the Who refused to go on without a bank draft in their managers hands, fortunately the organisers best pal was a bank managers and got his a bank draft with minutes to spare, his bank basically paying them without
oh and another story, Jimi nearly never made Woodstock,

Young recalled: “One of the things I remember about Woodstock was trying to get there to play. As it turns out, the charter plane I was on with Jimi Hendrix flew into the wrong airport. We were supposed to be picked by a helicopter. The roads were jammed and there was nobody at the airport, so we had no way to get to the concert.”

He then added: “So we’re standing at the airport with Melvin Belli [an attorney] trying to figure out what to do. And Melvin Belli steals this pickup truck parked at the airport. So it’s the three of us in this stolen pickup truck trying to get to the Woodstock concert to play—Jimi, Melvin and me. That’s what I really remember about Woodstock.”

In my opinion he's easily the greatest guitarist that has lived but, his legacy was cemented by his death and the band he played with, i can't imagine him playing without Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. For me its not just about Jimi Hendrix, it's the Jimi Hendrix Experience

i've waffled enough shite, hic, here's my favourite of theirs

That's a hoor of a long way to say 'I agree' pal. Love your Jimi pick BTW ❤)

One of my all time favourite songs Esp, but unfortunately the change didn't come. Much the same as with Dylan's Times They Are a Changin' . Sam Cooke' s was of course, all about civil rights in America, as I'm sure you know.
