oh,my goodness, why did so many people do Jimi? But he sure made an impression on you all and your poem is fantastic, Annalise. Very cool acrostic. Congratulations.

Hendrix poured his heart into his music, Annalise, and I think you are right in saying he was "dying each day." He turned to drugs because he couldn't leave the Vietnam War behind him. Big congratulations on your wonderful win! Love, Carolyn
