James Marshall Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix and known as Jimi Hendrix) (November 27, 1942 -- September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter whose guitar playing was influential on rock music.[1] After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the USA following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival.
Hendrix helped develop the technique of guitar feedback with overdriven amplifiers.[2] He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Elmore James,[3][4][5][6] rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by some modern jazz.[7]
Carlos Santana has suggested that Hendrix's music may have been influenced by his Native American heritage.[8] As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas; he was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic and phasing effects during recording.
Hendrix won many of the most prestigious rock music awards in his lifetime and has been posthumously awarded many more, including being inducted into the USA's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. An English Heritage "Blue plaque" was erected in his name on his former residence at Brook Street, London in September 1997 and his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (at 6627 Hollywood Blvd.) was dedicated in 1994. In 2006, his debut USA album, Are You Experienced, was inducted into the United States National Recording Registry and Rolling Stone named Hendrix the best guitarist on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003.

Isley Brothers, Move Over and Let Me Dance 1965 (Jimi Hendrix on guitar). This makes me want to laugh and dance at the same time - amazing vocal and guitar performances! This is a 70's re-release of the original 1965 45 single remixed to bring Jimi's guitar forward. I'm looking for a copy of the original mix and will put it up here when I get it.
Here's a good interview about Jimi's time with the Isleys.

From Isley Brothers Wiki article:
"By 1964, however, the Isleys had yet to follow up with another hit, having modest success with the similar "Twistin' With Linda". After their original version of "Who's That Lady" failed to generate buzz, the group decided to form their own label, which they called T-Neck Records. Within a year, the Isleys cut their first independent singles in the label, two of which ("Testify" and "Move On Over & Let Me Dance") featured a Seattle guitarist going by the name of Jimmy James. James was also the leading guitarist in the brothers' touring band. After leaving, he changed his name back to Jimi Hendrix and became a sensation soon afterwards."

Oh my goodness!!! My video views had gone up from 400 to 25000 literary, over night... What!!!??? The world of internet is a very crazy place! And my myspace page, which I had completely forgotten about, had so many "friend's requests"...!
Thank you so very much for all of your lovely comments and messages. I read them ALL and of course my head was huge for a while until I spoke to my mum who brought me right back down to planet earth...haha:-0 But anyway, I really didn't expect this reaction from you all, it was just a quick video I did very geekishly to test out my new web-cam! (And yes, it turns out 'not so good' in the dark!... thanks for your advice though, I will get a light bulb! Why didn't I think-a that!? haha:) I'm not quite sure how this has happened but I guess I have to thank the person (Mark?) who put me on the boingboing.net website? Thank you!!!xxxxx
Here is my 3rd video; the song is called Summer Face. By the way, the other voice is also me, so please don't think that I made someone sing the harmonies and I was mean enough to hog the camera...
Some questions answered...
Q: Can I buy your CD?
A: Thank you so much, that is so nice... Didn't think anyone would say that...ever! I have been trying to get a CD together for friggin' years! I've been on a very long journey to find the sound that I am comfortable with. I even tried being a Rock Chick once...oh my god! So not me. How uncomfortable and awkward was I!?... I'm a real geek at heart (I love it!), couldn't pull off being 'cool' to save my life! But anyway, at the time I wasn't confident enough to stick to what I believed in and what I loved, and in that process of trying to be appealing or trying to please others, I actually totally lost myself and was very confused for a long time, didn't really know what was what...hmmm... So! Many failed demos and "new directions" later I am finally going to record my next EP/Album this summer (hopefully, I'll manage to get the funding together...Come on Universe! Can't believe I just said "universe"...). So the answer is no, I haven't got a CD but watch this space, I will keep you posted:)
Q: Is it really a Ukulele!?
A: many of you didn't believe that it was a ukulele because it has 6 strings but it is quite simply a 6 string tenor ukulele. 2 of the strings are just doubled up in octaves. And yes! I know my ukulele playing is not brilliant but I only started playing it in Feb (this year), so I'm still learning. I was so uninspired and bored with the piano, probably because I teach it (I am a piano and singing teacher)... I still love it but I needed something fresh and new. So! I met Alfred (the ukulele)...I know it's quite sad to name your instrument but mine came with a name when I bought it! The shop-man said "Aha! I have the perfect instrument for you...wait here a second... (after some digging)... here it is! It's called Alfred!"...
So there we go...
Q: Do you write the songs?
A: Yes, I do. Well, obviously apart from the covers.
Q: What is your nationality?
A: I am half Scottish (mum) and half Japanese (dad).
Q: Will you marry me?
A: Ok, but only if you become my house wife. I'll call you wifey:) You'll have to do all the cooking and cleaning + look after the kids!... no seriously, I'm very flattered but I'm not the marrying kind. Haha:0
Q: Were you named after the cartoon cow?
A: This one was my favourite!!! I totally laughed out loud!:0 Lets say yes for now, I would love that! :)
Thanks a million:) and more very soon!
Clara xxx
