	(Quoting from "The Rolling Stone Record Review, Volume II")

	"I once knew a guitarist who could, upon request, imitate
any and all of your favorites.  Ask him for Danny Kolb, and his fingers
would fly so fast that they'd be a blur on the fretboard.  Jeff Beck?
He could play anything from "Truth", not for note, with or without the
record.  Request Eric Clapton, and you'd have "Spoonful", complete even
to the hint of a Jack Bruce bass line underneath.  Jimmy Page?  Alvin Lee?
Jerry Garcia?  He had them all down, one by one.

	I asked him once upon a time to do Hendrix for me.  He smiled a
little bit, set up his fuzz-tone, hooked up an echo unit, threw a few
switches here and there, and gave it a try.  He couldn't do it.

	And neither, for that matter, could have anyone else.  Whatever
his secrets, Jimi Hendrix took them with him."

			Lenny Kaye, reviewing "The Cry of Love", 4/1/71
