Still Raining, Still Dreaming - Still Hip

"Rainy Day, Dream Away" b/w "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" is my favorite moment on my favorite Jimi Hendrix album. Tucked away in the credits is a guy, Mike Finnigan, playing the B3 on this cut.

Here, Mike and Buddy Miles talk about the session that ended up on Hendrix's third and last studio LP, "Electric Ladyland."





 The album, "Finnigan and Woods- Crazed Hipsters" is, coincidentally, also a very favorite album which, in a long career of listening, seems like an extraordinary thing to say. Especially after not hearing a note of it in at least twenty years, and seemingly not being able to find a copy anywhere. I just remember I played it a lot once, but moves and divorce allow things that you once loved to get lost. 


So, after some recent research, I found that Mike has, indeed, begun re-selling his catalog at Mike Finnigan. And unlike some things in my life, it is still like I remembered it. Sometimes, you can go back home.

Thanks to "Crooks and Liars" for the clip.
