On this date in history: Jimi Hendrix...
On September 18, 1970 Jimi Hendrix died in London England. Life was short for Jimi who left this world at the age of 27, but the music he created inspired millions...It's hard to believe his magic happened more than 48 years ago.

I wonder how good at guitar he could have gotten if he had lived at least into his 50's.
Some trivia:
The Monkees had to do live concerts. Live concerts involved opening acts... one of those acts involved Jimi Hendrix, the guitarist who played screaming loud psychedelic music. One small problem... the audience was pre-teen and teenage girls! They were the ones screaming and it wasn't for Jimi. That didn't fit. Obviously, someone wasn't thinking clearly to sign Jimi for that gig.
