On my way to Jimi Hendrix’s Memorial

       Last Sunday my friend Luis Ruy and I decided to visit Jimi Hendrix’s Memorial which is located in Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton, Washington.

       Our journey started once we got on the first bus, I mentioned first bus because in order to get to Renton you need to take 3 buses which are in our case 71 from home to Downtown, 101 to Renton DC and 105 to Monroe AV.

       Along our trip Ruy was telling me about Jimi because I do not know about him very much. He told me many interesting things about this wonderful artist, as for sure many of you know or perhaps not, Hendrix is recognized as one of the most creative and influential musician of the 20th century, he pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar as well as innovating a style of combining fuzz feedback and controlled distortion in order to create a new musical form. What it really surprised me was, that he couldn’t read or write music at all.

       For all these reasons we decided to visit his grave, which happens to be in an incredible park, surrounded by beautiful trees and sharing the area with some other musicians as well as Chinese Dynasty and many other important people.

      I was really amazed by having had the opportunity to be in such an interesting place full of passion and creativity.
