249: songs for Jimi, part 2

Hi.

I'm feeling kinda better and more or less up to date enough

to post some stuff here again...

my skin feels kinda fresh and the spots which will always remind

me of me gettin on fire will be small (I hope!)

-

I kinda forgot to include Jimi's "Fire" in the post me getting burned,

so I'll make up for that on today's post!

-

Phil Lynott's song isn't a cover,

but have a listen and you'll understand why I included it :-)

Phil's missed a lot by me,

I still remember where I was and what I did

the day I heard he'd passed away...

-

Enjoy these 20 Jimi covers and burn a candle for

Mr. Lynott, or even better,

play one of the first 3 Thin Lizzy albums very loud!!!
