Jimi Hendrix, where did you first see Jimi Hendrix, buddy?
Who's that place called on?
Was it the scene?
The scene in the basement, because you came there once when I was playing there.
It was in the basement.
There were the Chamber Brothers, you, and I didn't know who he was.
I was about, must have been about 24 then, 25.
How come you keep mentioning ages and stuff?
Because I'm trying to keep this Alzheimer's workin' on.
I think you're trying to throw [G] bricks at me.
No, no, no.
But anyway, Dick Waterman was contacting me then, and I had the guitar behind my head,
you know, and I'm like trying to get some attention mostly.
You did.
And somebody had a tape recorder, and they was like, that's Jimi Hendrix.
And I had had a couple of shots, you know, and I'm trying to get me one of these hippie
gals, you know, that said exactly what I said.
I said, get out of my damn way.
Who in the hell is Jimi Hendrix?
And he started waving and plugging up his wah-wah pedal, and he said, I just canceled the gig.
I want to get a chance to play with Jim Hendrix.
I said, who the hell is that?
And somebody said, that's Hendrix.
Be cool, dude.
Be cool.
Hendrix, yeah.
So I finally stopped playing, and he plugged it up and went to work on it, and I said,
well, maybe I should know you then.
And from that day on, we came on, because we had some conversations together after that.
And that was like about maybe two and a half years before he passed away.
Well, I first met him at Tom Couch's place in Mobile.
In Mobile, yeah.
And guess what he was doing?
He was in the rhythm section for Little Richard.
Yeah.
That's how I first met him.
And they didn't care too much about blues, because Little Richard was so electrifying.
Boy, when he got through, everybody was getting ready to leave.
But we had intermission, kind of like he was saying, you know, for us on the road, it was
what, you played 30 and you're off.
Right.
Right.
The union thing.
But Jimmy was quiet when I met him.
When I saw him, he didn't drink.
He didn't drink or smoke or anything.
And I wasn't drinking that much then.
So we go in the dressing room, and we just sit in there.
You know, like two stools.
And so finally he says, B.B. had been listening to you for a while.
And I said, really?
And then he told me his name.
But I noticed he was left-handed.
He didn't play like we do.
Yeah.
He's left-handed.
Play this.
No.
Yeah, this way.
And so I was asking him, why didn't you change the strings?
And he said, well, this is just the way I learned.
And that's how I met Jimmy.
And he was a very nice, I thought he was, very nice person.
Very nice.
And I didn't hear no more from him until after he had gone to England.
And that's when I started hearing, Jimmy, him is Jimmy.
And so it was, and yeah, I knew him.
But I never did get a chance to speak to him again.
