- Hello knowledgible guitar types. I'm trying to confirm or refute a couple
- of urban legends (you know, those things everybody says they did or saw or
- know someone who did it or say it, though it never really happeded).
-
- Supposedly, Jimi Hendrix was once asked, "How does it feel to be the
- world's greatest guitar player?" His response was, "I don't know. Ask Eric
- Clapton."
-
- Similarly, I was told once that when Eric Clapton was asked the same question
- after Jimi Hendrix died, his response was "I'm not, Phil Keaggy is."
-
- What I'm looking for is some source that can verify either of these two
- exchanges (i.e, when, where, and to who it was said). My guess is they are
- in fact urban legends, and never really happened; but I'd like proof one
- way or the other. If anyone can be of some help, please email me (I'm not
- real conscientious about reading this group).
