    This is actually pretty fun -I don't think I realized before that I kind of live in the middle of young Jimi land... He grew up about a 1/4 mile away and the club he used to play at a lot as a teenager was right at the end of the street I live on - about a block and a half away.

    I've got a little idea going here... I have a couple of little photo albums that someone gave me that I've never used. I'll put together a little then/now scrap book of the places Jimi used to frequent, since most of them are within walking distance of my house.

    OMG............I am not worthy to be speaking to you, actually living in the middle of Jimi Land.

    It sounds absolutely perfect what you intend doing, something very special, I have already told my grandson and he is very pleased.

    Cheers Eden.

    Talking


    WOW,
    Eden produced the most amazing photo album of the area that Jimi Hendrix grew up in, fortunately where she lives.

    The photos were absolutely brilliant, she made the whole album so interesting, even wrote background info on each page.



    Plus she located a 45 record of an unreleased song, a super plectrum and a sticker from a local guitar shop (who also gave a set of guitar strings).

    How lucky was I, after only initially thinking about getting hold of a postcard!

    Thanks again Eden.

    oh my, that's so generous! It's so kind to put so much time into something and you can tell from the photo that he loves it!

    You're so kind, Eden!
