edna Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thank you, PS! I thought I'd leave this one for you as it's your nom. I love this song. Maybe my fave JH's song. Not a big fan of Hendrix now, have been in the late sixties/early seventies. I happened to nominate it a couple of times but no luck. I'm glad this time it made it...
