>>>>>[Hendrix is so WHIZ!

Like, I'm so totally sure you listed to that stuff when you were younger.
Yeah, thats excactly the type of stuff that I like. WHAT is it going
to cost me to get you to part with such incredible music?

I think this "ultra-synthed" crap they play these days takes NO talent what
so ever. Jimi (or is it Jimmy? The history books spell it both ways and
I have never seen an original copy of any of his music) was a total
artist when it came to guitar playing. It was him, his guitar, and his
amplifier. That was it. No computer to correct the inconsistancies that are
bound to creep in. Nothing to modify the tempo for you. Hell, anyone
can pick up a synth these days, plug it in, and make a living playing
"music".

Ill make a deal with you -- someone in the office has a jones for old movies
and I know you like the old stuff -- How about we work out a trade? That
goes for everyone else too -- I like the old stuff. If you have some for
sale or trade, drop me a line.]<<<<<

What's really awesome is that Hendrix was left-handed. Just like some other
people I know.

By the way, everybody, I'm in a damn good mood.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Liked Hendrix? Christ, I LIVED Hendrix for a few years. I even
made a roadtrip to his grave and burned a guitar in remembrance.

Hell, I remember my senior year of high school - tough to believe,
ain't it? The English teacher actually let me get away with
doing a report on Jimi when everybody else was doin' Longfellow,
Poe and Shelly.

Trixie, there ain't a Cubs-Chance-Of-Winning-the-Series that I'd part
with my CDs (unless there's some vintage (say... 1978) Italian, or
even Swedish, skin flicks in with those old movies <grin>).

And, hey Chris, not only was he left-handed, he played a right-handed
guitar left-handed - about the samw way I type.......

Eight-tracks are BF (Before Freddy, for the uninitiated out there),
GoD, so I can't help you there. I'm old, but not THAT old. I
supposse they might have been state of the art when I was born, but I
don't even remember when tapes phased 'em out.

Waitasec, did somebody say a Zep LP? Real VINYL? Which one?
