Cough, cough, sniff, sniff
Hey man, take a look out the window
And see what's happening
Hey man, its rainin' its rainin' outside man
Oh don't worry about that, brother
Everything's gonna be everything
We'll get into something real nice, you know
Why don't ya sit back and groove on a rainy day

Sniff, yeah
Sniff
Yeah I see what you mean brother
Maybe I can groove

Rainy day dream away
Let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe and uh
See the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Well I can see a bunch of wet preachers, look at 'em on the run
The carnival traffic noise, it sinks
Into the splashy hum
Even the ducks can groove
Rain burdened in a park-side pool
And I'm leanin' out my window sill
Diggin' everything
And uh you too

Rainy day rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' up tonight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain
Your worries away
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Love Jimi's playing. Always have. But I don't care for his voice at all. Instrumentals from Jimi would be the best.

Download Audacity and you can merge this song with "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" and get the whole thing. There's a bit of overlap, so you need to cut out part of one track. The 'hit' just before the wah wah starts is easy to locate and match up. Every time I hear this on RP I think I ought to upload the combined track...


I just bought a CD Nakked Ladyland CD2 which has a number of versions of this combined songs.  Haven't checked it out but looks promising .

yea, i think that too now you've suggested it.
I've always liked this track by the way.
If the 'upload' option is no longer possible, there's always sticking it up on YouTube & posting a link here , that would work for me...
cheers

See my post below from 3 years ago. The song continues on another side of the album. They can be spliced together with Audacity.

Friends in my circle don't call it a wah-wah pedal.... its just known as the 'Jimi' . As in 'That was awesome dude! You really wail on that Jimi!'

Mishandling by ambulance attendants!  He accidentally took an overdose of a European sleeping pill.
The attendants strapped him on the gurney in such a way that he could not clear his throat and hence suffocated
on his own vomit.  He may have done drugs in his lifetime, but it ain't what killed him (directly).

 
That's David Henderson's version anyway, not sure he was in the ambulance at the time, though.

"Instead of laying him down in the ambulance, they sat him in a chair and strapped him upright. He tried to bend over so he could vomit, but one of the attendants quickly pushed his head back and strapped him in tighter. Jimi's head lolled back as the ambulance driver took off. The speeding ambulance pressed his body back in the chair and made it even more difficult for him to get his head down. He felt bile and vomit near his Adam's apple. Jimi was unable to speak. Even if he could, the ball of vomit in his throat prevented him. The vomit massed in his vocal chords. His lungs became congested. His heart began to pump harder, and the right ventricle dilated. Fluid began to seep into his lungs. He was rushed from the ambulance into St. Mary Abbots Hospital. The doctors work on him for over an hour, to no avail."

Great song.  Love the jazz touch.

Don't know if many here know this but Jimi played in other groups before breaking out on his own.  One was as a backup musician for Joey Dee and the Starliters.  In that same group were members of the soon to be formed Rascals.

I love Jimi, and he was a God, but that doesn't mean that everything he produced was God like (or even great). This is a fun little rambler with a cool jazzy thing, but not much else really. Too much other Jimi to spend too much time on this so my request: keep it light in the rotation mmmmKay.

How about almost every popular guitarist names Jimi Hendrix as the best guitar player ever? That combined with his originality and amazing songwriting skills... should give even you a clue Jimi was a genius, but maybe someone that claims to be a genius finds it hard to accept any competition, either that or you're not really much of a genius. But then it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out, does it?

When he died he lost.it. all. He is at his best doing what he does best. Nostalgia rock, as you put it, has nothing to do with it. But he did teach us all a good lesson about the dangers of drug abuse. Pity so many still haven't learned that simple truth.

Its painfully obvious that physics"genius" simply does not like music. He's so absorbed in his self prescribed greatness that he lacks the capability to appreciate anything remotely artistic. that said, we lost jimi too early, wish we could have heard more of him.

Just listen to Buddy Miles keeping that solid, almost behind the beat, shuffle rhythm. Mitch Mitchell referred to him as a cement truck. As for Jimi's playing, well....speaks for itself doesn't it?

Gotta at least semi-agree... at least with this song. Whenever it's played alone, I find myself switching off RP at the end and getting my Electric Ladyland CD and playing the next song "(1983 ... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)".... at least. Without it, it's like a great car without gas. But still, great song. .

I was so happy when I heard a song from the Beatles Abby Road and realized that RP played the entire B-side!! RP really do respect music. I don't know if this B-side 'floats' together like Abby Road but if it does, post RP.
