I really miss it but unfortunately I had a horrific construction accident and did a lot of damage to my shoulder and forearm. Which developed into osteoarthritis.So it's very difficult for me to play for any length of time because my fingers will cramp up and I have no more strength in my fret hand. So I just play for my own enjoyment I sold all my guitars and I have one left and that's a Les Paul studio. I really enjoy the blues ,Chicago blues, Delta blues, country blues, swamp blues. From Robert Johnson to John Notto and everything in between

It was in the UK, in fact, that Monkee Mike Nesmith first heard a tape of Hendrix playing while at a dinner party with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton. Nesmith and his fellow Monkees Peter Tork and Mickey Dolenz became instant Jimi Hendrix fans, and after witnessing his legendary performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, they encouraged their own manager to invite the little-known but highly respected Jimi Hendrix Experience to join their upcoming U.S. tour

Quote:Mickey Dolenz later recalled, "Jimi would amble out onto the stage, fire up the amps and break out into 'Purple Haze,' and the kids in the audience would instantly drown him out with 'We want Daaavy!' God, was it embarrassing."
