Jimi Hendrix, As Related By His "Foxy Lady"

The BBC's online edition has provided an engaging interview with Kathy Etchingham about her life with Jimi Hendrix. The British woman was the muscian's main squeeze during his most creative years. They met when Hendrix, then a relatively unknown guitarist, went to London in hopes of kicking up his career a few notches.

Etchingham insists through the interview that people should see Hendrix the man, rather than Hendrix the myth. The interview's most charming moment occurs when Etchingham talks about early London days with Hendrix when both she and Jimi were broke. Their diversions at that time included playing Twister, which must have been a hoot.
