Huh! When I was in bands on the road in the seventies,
when synthesizers came out, I spent a lot of down time with keyboardists,
hitting a note on a keyboard and trying to guess what it was,
and then doing that with a guitar with effects.
Early synths would heat up under the lights and change pitch, oh yeah.
I also used to practice standing there with my guitar, looking away,
and reaching for the fret I wanted.
People who came to see me play guitar were surprised I didn't watch myself,
most of the time. I'd hear people shouting he's not even looking.
Unless I was eating, travelling around, I carrried my guitar around my neck,
playing it while I walked, doing everything Jimi said he did in interviews,
so I could be one with it. I only have one guitar, my instrument.
And I made it myself.
When I got my long hair and long beard shorn a few weeks ago,
I saved the hair, saying I was going to make some paint brushes out of it,
for my artwork, and it grosses a lot of people out.
Oh yeah, I'll be having some for show, if nothing else.
Long-hair quills.
