Yes he died at 27 I've even heard 28. What a neat concise poem, he had some songs I still play today! A great piece J

too many in the "27 club" who were gone too soon....

jimi was an icon. all guitarists since have been measured by the bar he set.

Gosh. 27?
A tragic and premature ending to a song.

in two weeks it'll be forty-five years since his passing...such a loss to the music world but such an innovator of sound who left a legacy that even young guitarists admire today... a great tribute to the club, Jacob

thank you, FT...yes there are several we lost at that age, and much too soon.
I couldn't have said it any better. The 27 club has some noted members that could probably be included in this as well.
