My Lost Treasure: Jimi Hendrix
It is a guys names theme on My Lost Treasure. I never meant to play the songs in any particular order, but it is kind of working out that way. We had a bunch of John and Johnny songs, then some Jack and Jackie Songs, and now it's Joe songs. Yesterday it was an awesome Frank Zappa song, today it's Jimi Hendrix.
I am too young to have seen Jimi Hendrix in concert, but I love his music. One of the coolest things I did get to do was to meet Eddie Kramer, who was Jimi's (and many others) engineer. He lived in Dutchess County for many years and became a good friend of the radio station. We have even shared a meal together. Eddie was always a great guy with some really awesome stories. He has since moved away, and I miss hearing his tales of the old days.
Tonight's pick is not actually lost, but it's definitely a treasure, so we are including it in this theme of My Lost Treasure. If you have a request that fits the theme, let me know.
