i thought you might play Jimi, considering the episode title. there are examples of him defying limits in different ways -utilizing overtones, controlling feedback very much more musically, making his guitar GROWL, somehow!

I attended a concert of traditional Chinese Pipa music. One piece was an impressionistic account of a battle - replete with simulations of cannon fire. Centuries old - & on this minimalistic sort of instrument with few strings & not even a resonator box (a flat face). But all I could think of was Hendrix doing the Civil Rights Vietnam LSD National Anthem thru souped up Marshall amps & effects pedals.

Took me a while to find it because it has a weak on-channel lead-in. Not to say anything bad about the host of the preceding show, it's just hard to get into a listeing groove with a rotating DJ slot.

When I saw this program title on the schedule, I thought it was saying something like, "Why do all my contemporary music favorites keep dying?" Or, "Why do I discover these works only just after their makers die?"
