caffeinatedMitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience... ... Passed away last week, as I found out by seeing postings made by Facebook Friends. I wanted to mention this in our blog, because Mitch was the last of the original Experience group.... Mitch had been born during 1947 in West London, and was brought in to play drums for the group that Wes Chandler, (ex of the Animals), was putting together to highlight Jimi Hendrix. The group's first practice was in 1966, and from there it was a shooting star to the top. However the strains of the road broke up the group, although Mitch did play with Jimi at Woodstock. Jimi died in 1970, and Mitch went on to play with other bands and do session work. Most recently Mitch was playing with the 'Experience Hendrix' group at the age of 61. Mitch is shown playing drums with the Jimi Hendrix Experience in the photo below: Additionally, The following is a repost from my March 2007 blog post about the graphic novel on Jimi Hendrix that included Mitch and also Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix Experience trio: VOODOO CHILD.... the Illustrated Legend of Jimi Hendrix This is one sharp graphic novel ! Being a child of the mid to late 1960's, Jimi was one of the mind-blowing rock stars that I listened to, although I never saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience band in concert. I basically listened to his pop hits on the AM / FM radio stations during my high school years until I went to college. Then having my own pad I bought his albums at a used record store in downtown San Diego, (Arcade Music Store), and listened to them. I have never been one to bone up on the rock artists' personal lives, so this graphic novel really enlightened me as to what I didn't know about Jimi ! 'Far out man' ! I am not normally a fan of Bill Sienkiewicz's art, but this is a great showcase for his style of art. For those interested in Jimi Hendrix and a fan of comic book style of art, this is a 'must read' for you ! Additionally there is a 30 minuted CD of Jimi's home recordings that come with this graphic novel!
