Good Article Nomination

[edit]

This is a really great article that good authors have clearly devoted a lot of time to. It should be nominated for Good Article Review. Reeeeet (talk)It just needs something about when he started going by "Jimi." NjtoTX (talk) 23:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

101st Airborn Division

[edit]

According to Wikipedia, Dan Inosanto, a Filipino martial artist and close friend of Bruce Lee, was also in the 101st Airborn Division as a paratrooper from 1959 to 1961. There is a slim possibility that he and Jimi Hendrix crossed paths in 1961. Dan is 88 years old in 2024. It would be fascinating to know if they did, and to document it. 24.246.125.95 (talk) 15:58, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any editors interested in another source?

[edit]

I found a copy of Guitar World from July 1995 ("The Battle for Jimi's Soul: Who owns Hendrix's Music") that has multiple features on Hendrix:

  • Hendrix Goes to Court: Al Hendrix is locked in a legal struggle with his longtime lawyer. At stake are all the recordings of his son, Jimi.
    • Includes an interview with Alan Douglas
  • The Hendrix Sessions: A behind-the-scenes look at the historic recording sessions for "Purple Haze", "Foxy Lady", and many other Hendrix gems

I would be happy to provide other editors with the contents of these. Phorque (talk) 09:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
