Imagine two of the greatest guitarist that ever lived playing together , just for you. That's how I felt when I happened upon this tribute song by Marc Cole (of UK.) and Sons of the Delta. He channels the spirits of Hendrix and Vaughn. So, much that I had to stop everything and upload this video for you to experience. Nothing can replace the feeling of listening to Hendrix when I was about twelve, soaking in the sense of freedom and ecstasy he was able to emanate from his instruments; body and guitar.
When Jimi Hendrix left the planet for a new adventure, I was devastated, certain that my heart would never recover from the loss. Decades went by before I discovered Stevie Ray Vaughn, approximately one year after his fatal plane crash. The first time I heard him on a Hampton Roads (VA.) station I was enraptured . Who was that magician on those strings? SRV, another mojo man with a guitar.
To have the fortune of experiencing such passion, pain and joy is miraculous. This may seem overstated for some but, this Blues , this alchemy is what assures me that " every thing, every thing gonna be alright yea."
