A Vignette-Jimi H

Made my name in Monterey
BB,Muddy ,the key to how I play;
Bell bottom fashion was my thing,
Little Richard was my king
like his voice,my guitar sings.


Inspired by Raul's latest photo

Great Poem. Too bad Little Richard did not fully use Jimi Hendrix's budding talent, when he played guitar for his band. Have a great day. Thanks for reading my poem.

Again, I learn something from you, Brian. I had no idea Hendrix was influenced by Little Richard. But it's certainly fun to picture Jimi rocking out the blues in his bell bottoms. Great tribute to a legend. Love, Carolyn
