I learned a lot from Jimi and like him, I created nothing. Ten seconds after Jimi finished a number he could not repeat tyhe Rifs he had just played and neither could I have. Jimi played Free Style and from him, indirectly, so did I. Thye biggest difference between our music was he played Blues and R&R, I plaqyed Blues and C&W... a little different, LOL!
All of the Love Ya Baby compliments are destructive because humans are so prone to being full of themselves. It took a long time to get past that trash and become myself again.
