Jimi Hendrix was many things: a superstar, a rebel, a hero, an
innovator. But first, he was a boy named Jimmy who loved to draw and
paint and listen to records. A boy who played air guitar with a
broomstick and longed for a real guitar of his own. A boy who asked
himself a question: Could someone paint pictures with sound?
This a story of a talented child who learns to see, hear, and interpret
the world around him in his own unique way. It is also a story of a
determined kid with a vision, who worked hard to become a devoted and
masterful artist. Jimi Hendrix--a groundbreaking performer whose music
shook the very foundations of rock 'n' roll.
