Amazing musician, amazing man and died waaaay too young.
When I first moved to Seattle back in 1979, the
guy who sold Jimi his
first electric guitar was still alive and working for the same store.
The Seattle music scene was really small back then -- a lot of great music has come out of the Pacific Northwest. It is the winters. It rains a LOT. You hole up and practice, practice, practice...
Back in 1992, I had a small computer/DTP business and someone came in to do a resume.
Part of the resume read that this guy was one of the original Kingsmen --
Louie Louie
Needless to say, there was zero charge for that work...
Fun times!
