How do you know Jimi was a huge fan of Peter Green? Have you read a quote somewhere? I'm not doubting your claim, I'd like to know what he said. I know he was a fan of Chicago guitarist Terry Kath. He was another guitarist who was under the radar until he died in 1978. I know of the NYC 12/68 jam at a local club (with Danny). I know both guitarists played together on (at least) a couple of occasions. I have never read a Jimi Hendrix quote concerning Peter Green. Since I'm not an obsessed Hendrix fan (casual), I hope dino can fill me in on the details.
