- I don't know if it is the same version but I have an lp called
- "Smash Hits" and it's on there and I like it a lot. I have
- "Loose Ends" somewhere on tape and can't remember if that version
- is identical to the one on "Smash Hits". I really am not too fond
- of "Loose Ends" it's just what the title says, some loose ends
- put on an album to make some money on Jimi.

- Now that I am talking about Jimi, I am still curious what would
- have happened if Jimi had not died. Would he stil be performing
- today. And would he still be on the forefront of guitar playing
- or would he be more like Eric Clapton who sort of put himself out
- of the picture? But we'll never know ;-(.
