"Jimi Hendrix's younger brother, Leon Hendrix, says he took up the guitar several years ago after a purple flame shot out of the sky and possessed him in bed, revealing a vision of his brother floating above him.

"I could see Jimi up there, beckoning," he recalled. "He was saying, 'Come on, baby brother. It's time. You're ready.' Since then, I feel like he's sanctioned me to carry on his musical legacy."
It may be a little difficult to carry on Jimi's legacy though as...

A collector had brought some guitars over and handed several Stratocasters to Mr. [Leon] Hendrix to try. Mr. Hendrix plucked one and said, "I hate when people hand me guitars that are out of tune, because I'm tone-deaf."

my band opened for guitar shorty, and for a few seconds he seemed like a really great guitarest, but none of them were his licks, and he kept repeating them in every song.
