Re: [Harp-L] Butter/Hendrix

[maurice richard libby <blues@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This one is easy. Hendrix was known for taking a tape recorder to jams and 
such. The recording with the glasses clinking in the background was a jam 
in New York (I have the cd, but not with me, so I can't give you the 
details right now). Jim Morrison sings and plays harp on a lot of the 
tunes.I use the term extremely loosely-- the Lizard King is so drunk he's 
obviously almost falling of  the stage. The whole thing is an interesting 
artifact, if only for the fact that it shows that these legendary figures 
can as pitiful in a free form jam as the rest of us. LOL
