Met Hendrix in the mid-sixties, when he came around the corner from the Cafe Wha to audition at the Night Owl Cafe, where I worked. He played for fifteen minutes, non-stop, solo....and didn't get the gig! The Night Owl owner, Joe Mara, who is still alive and kicking, considers it the worst mistake he ever made in the music business. I don't think I need to mention that Hendrix changed my life that day. Still influencing my music to this day.
