Second act 6/8 at 160 bpm. Fender twin on lead for second section. Jimi Hendrix has had a significant impact on my thinking. If you are familiar with my work, you may already know that. This is the first slow blues I have ever recorded or released. When I got electric lady land my mind changed with what music could be, and even when I write classical he is sitting with me, teaching me. I really never made another connection like that in music, maybe to Debussy, but Jimi moves me, spiritually, in a musical way that's unique. I offer nothing but respect for his impact on my playing, I thank him, his family and his fans world wide for keeping Jimi's music alive year after year. Peace.
