Last week I went over to Jimi Hendrix's grave. It is located in a graveyard in Renton, Washington called Greenwood Memorial Park. The address is, 350 Monroe Ave NE. I had gone there about five years before with a couple friends of mine. At that time there was a steady trickle of people coming to the grave. Since then this memorial was built in honor of the great guitar player. There were a couple people there as you can see. It is one of the attraction of this area. When people come to the Northwest from all parts of the world, some make it a point to go to Jimi Hendrix's grave. I think it is worth the offort, especially if you enjoy his music. I was never a huge fan of his, but I do have a VHS tape of one of his concerts which I watch once in a blue moon. I am a big fan of left handed guitar players since I play the guitar left handed. I like Paul McCartney and Kurt Cobain, who also play the guitar left handed. Kurt Cobain's ashes are supposidly in some vault of a bank here in Seattle somewhere. I haven't heard that they have been moved to anyother place. They would also be some kind of a draw if they would bury them in some public place in the city. If you're ever out in this area, and are a fan of Jimi's, come by and see his final resting place.
This statue of Jimi Hendrix is located at the corner of Broadway and Pine in Seattle. It is right
across the street from Seattle Central Community College which was one of my alma moter's. I spent four years going there.
