[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 503516, member: 2189"] Jimi and SRV are both tragic figures in the sense that at the time of their deaths, both were moving more and more in a jazz oriented direction. Jimi with Little Wing but the SRV with the early Lenny and then IMO one of the most beautiful pieces written in Riveria Paradise. I have kids heavily involved in the music business and we are around quite often, great pro players on a personal level, names you guys would know and when both Hendrix and SRV are mentioned, to a player, the regret was what we missed out on had both lived and evolved in their music. As a child of the 60's, many kids were fans of the Monkees and I and my friends were no different. In 1967' the Monkees toured the US and when they came to Charlotte NC, a friend's big sister and her boyfriend took us to go see them. The boyfriend however kept talking about this guitarist guy who was going to open up for them but we had no clue. Yeah, you guessed it, it was Jimi. Sadly it was the only time I saw Jimi play and I remember very little of his performance mainly because I'd never heard his music and who pays attention to opening acts? Yeah I learned from that mistake!:happy-very: Paid off a few years latter when in the spring of 73' I went to see a fav of mine in Quicksilver Messenger Service at a local Jr. college. (Hoax, the Jr college is now Kennesaw State) and the opening act was a band from Jacksonville Fla. who were very good. This band would explode on the scene in the fall opening for The Who on the Quadraphenia tour. The band was Lynyrd Skynyrd. [/QUOTE]
