Aren't those the guys Jimi Hendrix first played with (professionally)? Sad, I won't say "so young", but certainly not old! 59 is only 15 years older than me! Music has lost an icon.

Yeah Jimi played with them right before he went off to England but by this time he had already played for Little Richard & Sam Cooke and few others at that point.

One great story I heard was from Jimi's first audition with the Isley brothers. Who were looking for a guitarist. Jimi sat in and played and at the end of the audition they said he was in. Marvin asked Jimi if he needed any cash to tide him over until his first gig. Jimi said yes how about 10 bucks? He then said he could get some strings for his guitar. Marvin looked and Jimi only had 3 strings on his guitar. He had played the audition with only 3 strings and nobody noticed.
The Blues is alright!
