WOW, He passed away when I was a toddler but grew up on his music. My Father listened to his music. Didn’t realize it has been that long.
He was just a boy when he died.
Amazing photo, thanks for sharing.
I LOVE that chair he’s sitting in.
This photo could be in a room taken today.
I did a 7th grade report over Jimi Hendrix. Coincidentally, that same 7th grade report was my first experience with drawing typography by hand and loving it. Thank you, Jimi.
*Incidentally – not coincidentally. Eesh.

Just imagine what his work would be like today! So classic in my opinion.
My husband (who has Jimi tattoed on his arm) went to see Slash on Sat. night, who did a couple of songs in honor of Jimi
such a badass. he had the best sense of style…
(although little richard would say he deserves all the credit)
You always have such amazing photos!
Great photo!
Gorgeous photo, lovely and sad – no one else could have carried off that velvet suit quite as well. Thanks for remembering, and what is that on Jimi’s lap, could it be a book!

Love this photo, thanks for sharing it. He was ahead of his time as are most geniuses.
