Woodstock — I can just begin to imagine his experience. (Outside the tent that is. Well,
mostly.) To have seen, to have heard Hendrix out in the open amongst like-minded similar souls; to sense the harmony, the unity, oneness and accompanied by the best music of the time.

Thank You for remembering your old buddy to us. He sounds like an unforgettable fellow.
