    Re: Jimi the Lefty

    I saw Hendrix 3 times in concert, and 1 time in a late night jam after a concert. In concert he used a right handed guitar strung for the left hand. One night in San Antonio, after a concert, I was at a club with the band Sweet Smoke playing. About 20 people were there. Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell came in. Jimi took the bass player's right hand bass, flipped it and played it. He then took the guitar player's right handed guitar, flipped it and played for about an hour. Much later in life I had a dream where we were at a lake house, and Hendrix was there. He played along to Secret Agent Man on an acoustic. I asked him, "When you're playing, do you even know if the guitar is strung for right or left?" He replied,"All I know is it has 19 strings and I play it."
