Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky

On September 18, 1970, the world lost Jimi Hendrix. While there will be readers who will know little of the man, most will know of the riffs – Purple Haze, Hey Joe, Little Wing, Foxy Lady and Voodoo Chile. Then there is his performance of The Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock, widely regarded as one of the finest-ever live performances. To honour the 45th anniversary of his passing, RHR Music will host a couple of Jimi Hendrix extravaganzas, including one at Geelong’s Barwon Club on September 18. Taking on the challenge will be Hendrix devotee and guitarist extraordinaire Tim Henwood (The Androids, Superjesus, Rogue Traders), along with Dave Stevens and Michael Stangel.
