Hallucinating with Hendrix

Hallucinating with HendrixI have a shocking (or maybe not so shocking) confession to tell you. When I was younger, I experimented with mind altering drugs. It's NOT something I'm proud of, but I mention it so I can tell you the story of how I started playing guitar.


The Hit

There it was... My 1st hit of a hallucinogenic in my hands. I was a little bit scared. I didn't know what the heck was gonna happen or where I was going to go. How amazing is that? I swallowed it and I waited.

1 hour later everything changed.. Hendrix was blasting on the radio. The rug was changing colors from black to blue to brown. There was this cool green light bulb that started warping to Hendrix' guitar playing.

My buddy said: "It's not the high notes that you get you. It's the low notes." Over the next week or 2, I couldn't stop listening to Hendrix. I wanted to play like him. I'll share how my broke-ass
managed to buy his 1st guitar in the next post.
