i'm just back from a holiday in London where i went to see the Hendrix Exhibition in the new marquee club.

a nice collection that had 3 guitars - white with rosewood fretboard, sunburst with rosewood fretboard and the only left handed guitar he ever owned (a present from eric burdon)



pictures courtesy of John Reardon. My photos are awaiting developing.

most of the exhibition was concert flyers/posters and other rare items. Jackets, shirts etc.
there was also some unseen footage on big screens at the end.

£9.50 to get in.. excellent for what was there.

but the highlight of my day was later on in the evening at the hard rock cafe in old park lane....
i got to hold the black flying v hendrix (used at isle of wight, maui etc.) and got my picture took sitting on hendrix's chair from his nearby flat.
also got pictures of me holding claptons strat (the first one he donated to HRC) and SRVs strat from the soul to soul tour - i gave that one a burst of scuttle buttin'!!!

when i have them, i'll post photos to those interested :D

Can I ask what software did u use to do it? I am trying to learn how to animate simple pics too to use it for a web page I am developing..can u give me some pointers?

I am too a Hendrix fan.... but I worship his oldest son.... SRV. Congrats for holding those guitars... I hate u already..lol.

Cheers.
