Well my question if poss, did you ever get the chance to jam with jimi hendrix or clapton?  |
What better compliment can you pay to a musician in his early sixties who feels his best is yet to come?
To answer your question, I never jammed with Jimi, but after playing at a London press conference in 67, he came up to me and told me I had the right thing for Elmore James that other cats didn't. That was quite the encouragement! Eric? Pete was jamming with him at a rehearsal in Boston and he asked me if I wanted to join in. I declined out of fear and intimidation, and Joe Walsh took my place!
Anyway, thanks,
Jeremy.
