Re: [Harp-L] What are your Jimi Hendrix moments?

Aside from lame attempts at trying to dress like him in high school and breathing fire onstage during the guitar solo in "Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire" during the same period?

About that same time ? and I know I've told this story before on harp-l ? I had a dream about walking down the street with Hendrix late at night and him making comments on just stuff he saw as we walked, and it was all *musical* - every little casually uttered phrase (but you don't have to dream it; just listen to the man talk). Later I had that same experience while awake listening to jazz singer Betty Carter just talk onstage between songs.

Aside from flamboyant scarves and spewing lighter fluid into a lit match, for me the Hendrix moment is: *make every utterance musical, no matter how small.*
