Jimi Hendrix (L)  with his cousin Bob Hendrix after they had seen Marlon Brando’s The Wild One, 1953. Both wearing caps like Marlon Brando wore in the film, that were being sold in the theater lobby.

Isn’t it a great shot Kostas?! It so made me smile (a new Hendrix piccie that I hadn’t seen before!!)

Thanks as ever for coming by . . . . .

Isn’t it Dell!? I even found myself having to check it’s authenticity!
(it IS BTW!)
His cousin Bob ran the Hendrix Estate for many years after Jimi’s demise and hasn’t long died I think
but this picture is acknowledged as the real deal!
I LOVE it!

[thanks as ever for dropping by!]
