Can You See Me? (First Post)


Greetings and thanks for paying a visit to my new Jimi Hendrix tribute site. I've been a huge Hendrix fan for over 20 years. This page will focus solely on his musical legacy. I plan to share homemade compilation discs I've made over the years featuring unofficial music and various biographical documents about Jimi.
