Hendrix/1969: Day By Day is the latest project by leading authority Ben Valkhoff, in collaboration with Italian researcher and collector Luigi Garuti. The previous book by the Valkhoff/Garuti team – Hendrix/1968: Day By Day – won them a 5-star rating in UK magazines Classic Rock and Record Collector: “Meticulously-detailed, forensically-checked,” “The new gold standard for Hendrix books.”
Valkhoff’s book One Last Experience – The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At The Royal Albert Hall won him a 4-star rating in UK music magazines Mojo and Record Collector: “Forensic account of the day’s events”, “beautifully presented labour-of-love.”
Hendrix/1969: Day By Day is a 424-pages accounting of Jimi’s life during this tumultuous year.

MY ANGEL CATHERINA
02/11/20
For decades, fans have wondered who the girl was Jimi wrote ‘Angel’ for, and who is also mentioned in the song ‘1983… (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)’ from the Electric Ladyland album. All this time we were unable to locate her, but last year she found us. As it turned out, ‘Angel’ was not written for Jimi’s mother, as has been assumed for decades, and the Catherina in ‘1983’ is not Kathy Etchingham. In both cases it’s Jimi’s muse from Sweden. 50 Years after Jimi’s death, she speaks. Full story and interview HERE.

Disclaimer: Before people might get the notion that I’m grinding them out effortlessly... Foxy Papers 7 I had finished last year, and it was collecting dust on the digital shelf since then. Foxy Papers 8 I finished recently, so this year I can offer two volumes, instead of the usual one.
