PhotoSynthesis: Jimi Hendrix, Mama Michelle & Mama Cass

Previous | Next


Los Angeles, 1967: This was taken probably a half an hour before that picture of Hendrix standing onstage. There we are in this little green room right offstage, and there was one couch in the room and everyone is just sitting around waiting. Mama Cass is drinking a bottle of Galliano. Jimi had whispered something to Michelle, and Michelle had turned and whispered it to Mama Cass, like a game of telephone. And then Mama Cass sat up and looked at Jimi with a big look on her face like "What?" And the thing is I have no idea what they were saying, and years later I asked Michelle and she does not recall [laughs].

Mama Cass is responsible for so many people coming together back in Laurel Canyon...because of her we had CSN...and Joni met Graham there as well...what a place in time,,,gives me nostalgia pangs
