If six turned out to be nine...I don't mind |
Then two would be three...Reciprocally I would be... Me-and-a-half with a mirthematical laugh |

For many years, a very large poster of Jimi Hendrix
graced the walls of an inner-city classroom.
A balloon caption in the framed poster
mathematically corrupted the lyrics to If 6 Was 9.
In the background of a photograph featured
in the March 13, 1996 Los Angeles Times,
the Hendrix poster is visible.
The 2nd-Generation photographs above

As Jimi might have said:
Proper & Improper are only
the names of fractions.
And now...possibly prefaced by an advert
6 + 9 seconds in length... I present a song
from the Jimi Hendrix Experience:

Once upon a time, there was the GodFather of Math.
It features a handful of pages about Jimi Hendrix.
Those pages can be found by searching for–
verbatim– Jimi Hendrix "Godfather of Math"
But the most interesting of those pages is here.
You may preface that link with this hint:
Once upon a time, Jimi Hendrix–a superstar in England–
was virtually unknown in these good old United States.

Who is that handsome man, facing right!
ReplyDeleteFacing dancing tap dancing smiling right!
That rotated photo...appeared on front page of Metro Section
Deleteof L.A. Times...I cropped it to fit over the page 2 title
HEARTS OF THE CITY.
Thanks for the compliment.
I appear to be doing a one-legged "dance."
Either that or I had just tripped over
a student's foot.
Well designed page.
ReplyDeleteArtistic photographs,
artistically composed.
A fraction of all your talent,
Mr. Handsome-nosed.
I am certainly not the first person to make a composite photo
Deleteof Jimi Hendrix but the "artistic" copyrighted page
naturally segues into a footnote-worthy memory,
with or without a handsome nose.
Thanks for another compliment
but I do not have anywhere near
two-thirds (or six-ninths)
of Jimi's talent.
There is an art to putting together
ReplyDeletea composite, as any chosen were
smooth or awkward
I agree...
ReplyDeletesometimes composites are just composites...
sometimes...they magnify the real thing!
Sometimes an assemblage is organized for clarity only
Deleteand sometimes a collage has a magic of its own, as here.
Thank you and i hope it
Deleteexpands yr appreciation
of Jimi's genius...
