James Marshall Hendrix









November 27,1942 - September 18,1970

Some of you may know what yesterday was. It has been 36 years since James Marshall Hendrix left this Earth and a musical legacy behind him. His music has affected me deeply and always will.

I think everyone remembers the first time they heard J.H.E. His music is just so powerful. It can be as quiet as a cool breeze yet still have the power of a hurricane. He was definitely not of this earth. Of course I was born a little too late to enjoy him in "real time" ('72) but the depths of his touch is so deep even 36 years later, generation after generation of musicians and music lovers still mention his name with reverence. He is and will always be missed.

Fly on little wing, fly on.
