Fifty-two years ago today
When I was young
and wasn't made of clay
Halloween was
a fortnight away
I received a letter that day:
My boy Jimi
is coming your way
Would you please teach him
how to play
Sincerely,
Al Hendrix
The next two weeks
was all treats and tricks
*******************
with a guitar sack–
his lifeblood–on his back
His fingers on the fret
the blues he did get
Muddy Waters for breakfast
Lightnin' Hopkins for lunch
Howlin' Wolf for dinner
Jimi ate up the whole bunch
***********************
 |
| You may now listen to Spanish Castle Magic |
in your defense:
Are you experienced?"
Yes he was, and said
"Good Sir, all my gratitude
but for fame to attain
I must go to Great Britain"
"Jimi, here's the ultimate trick
never forget Spanish Castle Magic"
"I will never forget you,
the man to be re-shaped from brick
I mean exactly You:
Mr. Flann O'Magic."
