Stratocaster Man

Jimi Hendrix Drug filled days Lived his life In a purple haze His music Is a monument To what it's like When life is spent Picking guitars With your teeth Never touching floors beneath He flew so high He could touch the sky Stratocaster in his hand Hendrix was an awsome man

I don't think I have ever heard this man play. Ray good luck with it in the contest. Thank your for your gracious comment. All my arguments about "The Void" was with my own mind before I wrote it. However Iam learning to go with the Agape, Heart's wisdom. All of your support is greatly appreciated Ray. Agape, Moses

You have done a wonderful piece here, depicting this talent who died without knowing the legend he has become. Great job, Ray! ~ Carrie
