by accident today, i played one of those bootleg jimi cds i bought in the bargain bin. it claimed to be "the early years", but was really a jam session from '68 (with a fucked-up jim morrison singing an indecipherable rant over good licks). the person who wrote the liner notes described jimi as "the black elvis" which made me laugh to no end! and, "in" his "opinion", rick derringer is playing 2nd fiddle, and mitch mitchell is on drums. i think he's a crock, but it was my version of an inadvertent tribute, just the same.
