    Re: Please help me explain Hendrix’ importance to some high school kids.

    Hello,

      About Hendrix to School kids- I grew up around the Woodstock concert site and enjoy live

    reproduction of music and musical skill.

      Shed away the years and the things you learned along the way in life. Bring with you the enjoyment

    of hearing a skilled musician. Let all the modern junk music, TV, ect fall away. Put yourself in a

    farm field with beautiful views. Play Hendrixs' Star Spangeled Banner from Woodstock, full version

    that ends with Villanova Juction . Track 12 of Mobile Fedelity Sound Lab version Disc 2. Let it roll.

    Have all equipment hot. Imagine the morning humid North East USA in the Summer. Most people

    left the concert, but for the rest they get to experience one the best peices that has been

    recorded of a man playing guitar. Late Summer, hippy era closing. A man on the moon. One chance

    for these musicians to make an everlasting impression to listeners then, and to come. I love the

    last 4 minutes. It was a complete success artistically. I was a year and a half old. And it still holds

    as the best guitar piece recorded live. His ability was to use the instrument as his expression of all

    things- Rocking good times, war, hate, death, people in the audience, reminisce. The beauty around

     him.
