Man that Buddy and Stacey clip, I've seen it before but what a couple of clowns. Hendrix paid his dues playing with a number of groups, bands, acts, most notably Little Richard. There is a great article on Hendrix at Wikipedia. His dad was from Vancouver and he spent some time living there with his grandparents. He may have also played with Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers (Tommy Chong's group), also know as the Shades in Calgary).
