Jimi Hendrix Experience

             Jimi Hendrix was born November 27, 1942 in Seattle Washington. His parents weren't
             the greatest role models for him and they had a lot of problems raising him in a stable
             environment, so his grandmother helped raise him to become a decent human being.
             [According to hotshotsdigital.com] Jimi's father bought him his first guitar when he was
             12 and he pretty much taught himself how to play it on his own. At the age of 16, Jimi
             was thrown out of high school because he was caught holding hands with a white girl,
             and since he was black,descrimination became a big problem for him in the early 60's.
             When he was 17, he enlisted in the paratrooper division of the army and began jumping
             out of planes and liked it alot. But after 14 months of doing that he began to have little
             injuries that caused him to be discharged from the army.
             Now I am going to inform you how Jimi's career blossomed significantly and how he
             started to become very well known. [According to jimihendrix.com] Once he left the
             army, he began to have an interest in playing guitar again and started playing very well.
             Four years later he got good enough to start playing backup guitar for Little Richard and
             Tina Turner and began touring around the states with their bands. Then in 1965, Jimi
             finally formed a band called the Jimmy James and the Blue Flames. After he toured
             awhile with that band, the bassist from the Animals named Chas Chandler saw a show of
             them and became seriously interested in Jimi Hendrix. He loved is guitar style. So Chas
             asked Jimi if he could be his manager and go to London to form an even greater band.
             Jimi accepted the offer and they flew over to London and Jimi started in a band called the
             Jimi Hendrix Experience. Noel Redding was the bass player, and Mitch Mitchell became
             the drummer. The band toured in Europe for awhile and got a record deal.
             Now I am going to inform you guys how Jimi became...
