Milk and sugar and acoustic Hendrix

I read this week that an acoustic Jimi Hendrix quarter-inch tape is going on the auction block. It's a tape that Jimi recorded in '68 before going into the studio to record the infamous Electric Ladyland album... It's just Jimi on an acoustic guitar along with an un-named musician playing harmonica on a couple of the tracks. Here's the kicker---- Jimi originally gave the tape to a neighbor who lent him some milk and sugar. Wow... I love acoustic stuff and would love to hear it--- Can you imagine an acoustic version of Voodoo Chile? I'm guessing the tape will go for slightly more than a cup of milk and sugar.

Let the Madness begin...


'Tis the season............... for some MADNESS. Ah yes-- March Madness. Selection Sunday is like Christmas... Everybody anxiously awaiting the seedings... all giddy about talkin' basketball. Even if you don't pay attention to it all year long, suddenly we're all major hoops fans come March. Personally, I love it. I love filling out my bracket--- I do one for me AND of course my cat Maynard is also represented with a bracket. In fact, he did better than I did last year... figures.


Enjoy the madness--and try to squeeze in a little work time.
