This Day In History

Here's where we go to kick back after the races with our pals. Pour a tall one, punch a few buttons on the jukebox, and relax...

Jimi Hendrix went out undefeated and untied. To this day he is regarded as the consumate wizard of the electric guitar. He did what he did with what at the time were considered state-of-the-art effects and equipment...Marshall amps, an upside-down right-handed Fender Stratocaster guitar with an octave and 5/8ths on the fretboard, strung left-handed...his effects were simple. A Dallas Arbiter Fuzz-Face stomp box, a Vox Univibe, Vox Cry-Baby Wah pedal, an Electro-Harmonix Small-Stone Phase Shifter. There were no digital tuners when Hendrix was playing. This setup would be considered the AA/FD of nostalgia gear, yet by today's standards it was primitive...it was all tubes, all analog, all 9-volt battery powered effects. But what Hendrix did with that stuff was light-years beyond anything anybody would ever do, before or since. There are a lot of hot-shot guitar players out there that can play a million notes a minute, but nobody had the combination of talent, imagination, creativity and soul that Jimi Hendrix posessed. Stevie Ray Vaughan did excellent Hendrix covers, adding his own style of blues interpretations to Jimi's songs, and it worked. I've heard many Hendrix covers and done them myself, but like I say, Jimi Hendrix was then and still is to this day, in a class of one. Long live his music. He'd be 64 if he was still with us...Thanks, Heather for the great post.

Well... I know this may sound silly... But none the less, I love rodeos so I am happy this finally occurred this day...

This day, back in 1935, two men held the first ever rodeo, held outdoors, under lights.
