Hung Out With Billy Cox (Jimi Hendrix Band Of Gypsys) on Saturday

[Hardrock69]

He was doing a signing of his new CD at a cd store in West Gnashville.

I do not see him that often, but this was the third time....

Got him to sign an 8 X 10 of a photo taken of he and I a couple of years ago.

After he was done with the signing, he jammed with a guitarist and drummer....played "Red House", "Freedom" and "All Along The Watchtower".

He has a great voice....

It is always cool to meet one of the legends of rock...

:cool:

Great!

What CD was he signing?

Was it the "Band of Gypsies revisited" album?

[Hardrock69]

Yeah.."Band Of Gypsys Return".

Probably, but what have Cox and Buddy Miles done since Hendrix died?

[binnie]

That's cool, wish i'd met him!

[Hardrock69]

Actually they have stayed very busy for the past 36 years.

Played poorly on several Hendrix tributes...

Doing what?

I`m sure it must be pretty hard trying to get up for playing in a band when you`ve played with Hendrix, especially as he had history with Cox besides music.

Buddy Miles strikes me as the kind of guy who`ll play with anybody who`ll put up with him, though.

[Hardrock69]

They have been playing.

One thing Billy did early on was to play in the Charlie Daniels band for a couple of years in the early 70s.

He also had his own video production company for many years, and has done a lot of session work, as well as live stuff. Aside from the Hendrix tribute stuff. Lately he has been very involved in the Gospel music biz. He is a badass on bass, and it is always great to see him play.

Buddy has stayed busy playing as well.
