If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
At least "The Experience" is all back together now.
Great name too.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

In 67 when JH Experience came to Finland they played in the brand new Finlandia theatre that was made for classical music. Much money had been invested in that place. It had some serious stuff fitted for acoustics. And the stage was made in a special soft wood not to create a "bounce" for the sound.
First thing Mitch does when he comes out and has the drums set up is to nail his drums to the floor... probably why they never played in Finland again...
41 years ago. How time flies!!
"Mitch Mitchell, the jazzy and versatile British drummer in the Jimi Hendrix Experience, died Wednesday in a hotel in Portland, Oregon. He was 62 and had recently finished a national tribute tour, Experience Hendrix.
The cause was unknown, said Bob Merlis, a publicist for the tour.
Mitchell was one of two Englishmen in the Experience, the group that catapulted Hendrix to fame in the late 1960s.
Along with the bassist Noel Redding, who died in 2003, Mitchell was recruited in a rush in the fall of 1966, after the journeyman Hendrix had been discovered in a New York club and whisked to London by Chas Chandler of the Animals.
Hendrix's guitar pyrotechnics caused an immediate sensation among the British rock elite and a backup band was needed for a last-minute French tour.
Redding was hired first, followed a few days later by Mitchell, who was barely out of his teens but already an established session player with the Pretty Things and Georgie Fame.
Led by Hendrix's explosive and rhapsodic style, the group revolutionized rock music and became an archetypal power trio. Its style was built around Hendrix's improvisations, with Redding's steady bass lines acting as an anchor and Mitchell - who was influenced by jazz players like Elvin Jones - playing a lighter, looser counterpoint to the guitar.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience released three albums: "Are You Experienced" (1967), "Axis: Bold as Love" (1967) and "Electric Ladyland" (1968). Mitchell continued to play with Hendrix until his death in 1970, and later played in the band Ramatam.
After Hendrix died, Mitchell worked with the producer Eddie Kramer in completing the albums "The Cry of Love" and "Rainbow Bridge," and he long worked with Experience Hendrix, the company founded by Hendrix's father, in promulgating the Hendrix legend>"
