Ohhhhh, so that's Jimi Hendrix!






           This is all that was left last week of a Jimi Hendrix home last week. It's gone, by order of the city of Renton.
Jimi Hendrix's childhood home in Seattle was demolished . 
"The demolition crew has been working at a fast pace, and the tiny, 
900-square-foot house where Jimi Hendrix lived from ages 10 to 13, and
 first showed his love for music, was down to its shell Monday March 29, 2009." HERE


Jimi Hendrix moved in to the top floor apartment of 23 Brook Street, 
located in the Mayfair section of London, in 1968.




Jimi lived in Laurel Canyon during the heyday of his career.

  2. Back in the day I would listen to Jimi while in my darkroom. I know l'm showing my age , but back then on regular TV, no cable, you would see Jimi, Marley, and a whole host of top performers regularly.
