I love this photo.  We were playing 3rd Stone From The Sun.  Stevie loved Jimi Hendrix more than most people know.  He connected with Hendrix on a very deep level.

Photographer comment:  Pre Soul to Soul, shot on a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi during JazzFest.  Others on the bill were Albert King and Gatemouth; I think JImmie sat in that night, too!

I have a series of photos of him when he is doing this, and then he takes the whammy bar and uses it to pick up the guitar and flip it over!
