Re: “Not Necessarily Stoned but Beautiful” [Music, May 14]: A beautiful and evocative article on one of the greatest musicians of contemporary times. As a 10-year-old in 1969, I had the great fortune of having two older brothers (one 15 and the other 18 at the time) who endlessly listened to Hendrix. I was quickly indoctrinated and at the same time enraptured at the sounds blasting from our console stereo. To this day, I have Are You Experienced in my car and frequently listen to Hendrix altering space and time on his guitar. Your comments about Hendrix influencing Texas musicians holds true – Carolyn Wonderland could easily be Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix's secret "love child.”
