because yes its a bouzouki too…btw Chiotis once went head to head with Jimi …with Jimi stating that the title of best string artist should go to Mano and not Jimi.
hendrix was most likely just being modest and paying respect to another guitarist. really though the styles are quite different and i doubt hendrix believed anyone (at the time) was comparable to him and how he played.
I invite you all to listen right to the end…not everyones cup of tea to be certain, but my glob this man had fingers forged by some divine maniac…
As for Misirlou is was originally recorded in 1927 in the hash and opium dens of Athens, some of which still exist today. I reference Dick Dale’s version cause of the bouzouki, which I am partial to on account of my heritage.
as I said, I confused the whole thing by thinking hendrix’s admission was in context to the dick dale guy. But this other Greek dude is clearly better than hendrix, so hendrix’s admission makes sense now.
I love Jimi anyway; no-one can take away the moment I heard purple haze for the very first time on some uni friends floor after having smoked a blunt. I cried from the beauty.
Anyway - Here is another kind of tune I kinda like.
MagsJ likes this song very much so-much-so, that it has inspired me to put a playlist together, to play at my next family gathering, so I’ll be impressing my family but no friends, as my family are my friends… the cat likes it too, when I played it just now.
Yeah… a pleasant path to be led down… though I do like my tunes dark and dour, to reflect the natural-default-setting of my dark and dour demeanour, for when we smile, people think they can automatically gravitate towards us, and I ain’t having that. though the new Street Harassment laws mean that others now can’t invade one’s space in the public domain
I’ll think of it as a birthday present Urwrong ; ) is that Du worshipping Meine ginormous head in the background? …nice Wizard cosplay outfit you have on there… il est tres sexy et chic… I think it’ll catch on.
