Red House by Jimi Hendrix
1969 at Woodstock found Jimi Hendrix burning up the stage with his expert guitar work and soulful vocals. Growing up in Seattle Washington, Jimi's father bought him an electric guitar when he was 17...but no amplifier! He practiced relentlessly and started playing with local bands. His journey brought him to the UK where he worked and recorded with scores of blues greats including Eric Clapton. He recorded several albums and was relatively unknown in the US until he took the stage at the Woodstock Festival. He died a little more than a year following Woodstock. After attending a party and consuming too much wine he reportedly passed out at his girlfriends and drowned on his vomit. Sad ending for a talented star. His fans maintain a Home Page in his honor.
