Cool.

Just a thought, I don't have the pic in front of me at the moment, but is the pic of Jimi with the Rocking Kings c.1960 at the Spanish Castle? The background is the same or no?

Pat O'Day talks about Jimi Hendrix at Garfield High and Spanish Castle


Back in 1961, when Hendrix was about 19, he'd show up at the Spanish Castle.
He approached O'Day with an idea.
"Back then, the amplifiers bands used ... overheated, overloaded and blew out with irritating regularity ...
"Knowing this, the young man made a simple offer: He said he always carried his high-wattage Gibson amp in his car and proposed that, should one of the band's amps blow, we could use his amp with the understanding that he could then play his guitar on stage along with the group.

" 'I'll stay in the background,' he promised me. 'And don't worry,' he added, 'I know every note of every song these guys do.'"
One evening some weeks later, an amp blew in the middle of a show by a group called Tiny Tony and the Statics. It was Hendrix's chance.
"Once plugged in, he spent the rest of the evening on stage backing up the Statics," O'Day remembers.
