Hendrix Art

Picture of my Hendrix artwork. Taken with my phone and a bit dark but I will upload a better photo soon. Will be on sale Thursday night at the Variety. Hope to see you there!

Rehearsal

Kurt Interview

 Here is a bit of Kurt. You can see in this interview he was a very open minded, intellectual, and yes... "happy" guy. I think unfortunately many people have built this black cloud around him, and if they don't know too much about him... peg him as this depressing person. I personally think he is very charming, he has the best smile.

" I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am."

Janis Joplin Interview

Here is a funny interview Janis Joplin did on Dick Cavett. I just think she is so cute. That may not be the usual way to describe her... but I can see her sweet innocence shine through here.

Jimi Facts and Journal

Some interesting Jimi facts:  http://www.beembee.com/2010/jimi-hendrix-10-fascinating-facts

Lyrics and their meaning

http://www.songmeanings.net  is one of my favorite sites. Not only does it provide you with lyrics in an easy-to-navigate way, BUT it displays peoples interpretation (underneath the lyrics) of the song - what they think the meaning is. Sometimes people give accounts of what the actual musician/songwriter said about the lyrics. Also, people relate what the lyrics personally mean to them and their life. I love reading through them, many times my interpretation of a songs lyrics is completely different from everyone else's. It just goes to show how one piece of music can have a wide variety of meaning - depending on the experience of the listener.

Here are the links to a few songs we will be featuring:

Ghost Song - Jim Morrison

On a Plain - Kurt Cobain
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/376/

Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/18287/

Maybe - Janis Joplin
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/36332/

"Maybe" needs more interpretations... maybe you can read the lyrics and add your own. Sign Up is free on the site, and once you have an account you can add your own comments.

Also, feel free to post your interpretation here!

Children's Book

I thought this was interesting http://www.brandfreak.com/2010/12/jimi-hendrix-story-finally-wends-its-way-down-to-childrens-book.html

Gathering Wild Rehersal

I love the shots I get of these girls - their movement and emotion is captured easily because they live dance. It is not just a hobby or activity for them, it is a way of life. You can see it in the way they walk, you can even see it in the tiniest of gestures. This show is going to be amazing.

I think I'll use this for my "artists bio" page in the program. Words to be added.

I apparently make this face a lot.

It is coming up soon! Mark your calendars! If your in Atlanta, look for these around town.

Words from a friend's thoughts. I felt it connected with Kurt in his obsession with the body/body parts, cells, sperm, birth, etc.
