Condolences for your loss. Your departed hubby had a great ear for excellent music.

A lot of people are unaware that Jimi didn’t write All Along The Watchtower, which is understandable, since he so truly made the song his own. The author, Bob Dylan, once remarked that he liked Jimi’s version better than his own.

I didn’t know Dylan wrote Watchtower until MrT5 told me-I had thought I knew about every song Dylan wrote-I’d been hearing his stuff since I was about 12-13, when my mom was into folk music...
