Big Mattress Song of the Week (03-09-09)
Die-hard Hendrix fans: From May 2 1968, The Record Plant NYC. Jimi Hendrix was working on Voodoo Child with Steve Winwood, Jack Cassady, and Mitch Mitchell. Several minutes into it , Jimi breaks a string- but the three continue on- until Jimi returns and is ready to go again.

The real amazing thing about this is that
Jimi changed the string with his foot. His hands were busy with a doob and moving the feathers around....
It's fair to note- the real tragedy of Jimi's death was that he was about to collaborate with Gil Evans and Miles Davis. What that could have been! I recommend hunting out
Gil's Big Band versions of Hendrix songs-(the late Hiram Bullock on guitar)
fantastic stuff...

Several collaborations between Jimi and Stephen Stills will be released on future Stills project. The Hendrix estate has given their permission for the tracks to be released. One title that will be heard is a song called "White Nigger". Stills was hesitant about using the title so Jimi proposed "Black Honky".
