We wouldn't have this forum if it weren't for Jimi Hendrix.

prob not a true statement but the sentiment behind it is valid

I very clearly remember the first time I heard hendrix in 7th grade, it
really effected me, still does, the man definately had a clearer channel
to the muse than most of us

from what I've heard and read he was working on new things immediately
prior to his death and was excited about them, if it was just one of
those bad things that sometimes happens for no good reason or if he gave
into some personal demons I can't say but I'm pretty sure that had he
lived he would have continued to explore music and the tools to make and
modify it and would prob be on this list pointing out some really
inventive ways for us to explore sonic textures
