HI there.  Im B and I love Jimi Hendrix.  How are you?
Hi B.  I am fine. And I am with ya on Jimi Hendrix who was an amazing instrumentalist.
He really was.  Do you know anything of importance about him? I feel I don't know enough.
I find it amazing that his mainstream career only lasted four years? 
Wow! Four years!? It's funny, to someone who wasn't alive back then, it seems his career stretched so much longer!
Yes only 4 years. He did however beging playing guitar when he was 15.
That's actually quite late in life to pick up an instrument, isn't it? I thought most artists were doing something musically earlier on than that. Not to say he still isn't a genius!
He definitely was a musical genius. Even more interesting is that he was a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division.
And I never even knew that he was in the military! Do I really deserve to call myself a fan!?
interested bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals in becoming his first manager. Within months, Hendrix earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the U.S. after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and his third and final studio album "Electric Ladyland" reached number one in the U.S. in 1968; it was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his only number-one album.
I got the perfect combination of people to really support me and make me feel confident. It was an amazing awakening. I walked into the session and I was like, You gotta know, I don't care about anything except the truth right here.
