Oh, and mind you.. derailing stuff even further here.. he couldn't read or write musical noting.
Miles Davis worked with him just before Jimi died and he was amazed/flabbergasted to find out this was the case.
Well, I think, in a way, Jimi Hendrix was like Vincent van Gogh.. um, painting.. yeah, like Miles, a free spirit, way into adulthood..
Like in HFA maybe?
