One day, while working her regular shift at Hollywood Video here in Renton, the fair Ms. Pinky had a special admirer of her Jimi Hendrix tattoo that she sports on her forearm - Jimi's stepsister."She was really nice and I didn't think much about it, but a few days later, Linda (the stepsister) came by my work a couple of times, trying to find me." Pinky had made quite the impression, and she was rewarded for her Hendrix love with an armload of "swag" from the Experience Hendrix Company, a family owned concern that is run by Janie Hendrix, another stepsister of Jimi's. T-shirts, DVDs,CDs and a huge plushy blanket were just a few of the goodies she scored.
Jimi Hendrix's grave is just up the hill at Greenwood Memorial Park at 350 Monroe Ave. N.E. His house was taken up the hill 4 years ago as well.
I love feel good stories like this - after the whole battle between Leon Hendrix and the rest of the Hendrix family last year over the $33 a bottle Vodka in Jimi's name, it is so nice to hear a contemporay story about Hendrix that is on a happier note.
