Thursday, November 27 is Jimi Hendrix' 72nd birthday.

Has he been gone that long?

Spooky,ain't it?

Wow! Imagine if he had lived to see it. I thought he was brilliant - so tragic.

His flame burned bright, but way too quickly.

I have a Million Dollar Quartet tee shirt somewhere.
Elvis, John Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee.
Elvis is playing the piano.
The only one still on the green side of the sod is Jerry Lee.

Also, 11/20 was Duane Allman's birthday. Two of the best, gone way too early.

One of the members of the 27 club.

Wow, Nov 27, 72 years old, 27 club...weird coincidence.

And yes, I'm aware of the club. It is still referenced somewhat frequently. I think when Amy Winehouse passed the term started popping up again. Obviously it's not a talent based club.

I realize that I am probably from a different generation than most on the forum, to me Kurt Cobain, in the 27 club, holds the same meaning to me as Jimi does to you all.

Jimi was very talented and so was Kurt, I am sure that they are still performing great songs and entertaining the angels in heaven.
