[Norma J]

I fell in love with Jimi when I was a kid. Not for his guitar trickery, 'cause that came later on, like I was in my mid teens when I realised that when I started watching his live stuff, but I love(d) his sense of melody from a young age. Stuff like Wind Cries Mary and most of the popular stuff.
Some of my first records were Hendrix records. Live at Woodstock, Live At Monterey - where he kicks into Rock Me Baby on the opening track from the lonnnng intro of guitar tuning and random noise. I also just dusted off Voodoo Soup which was a later relase from the label - it's his bluesy stuff like Belly Button Window etc - I remember loving all that so much as a kid.
... Yeah.
