Question I wonder if you could tell me what songs Jimi played live but didn't write?
I know he recorded All Along the Watchtower, Like a Rolling Stone, Hey
Joe, Wild Thing and the Star_spangled Banner. But are there other songs
he played regularly? Are there blues songs by other people that he
played?
