AMAZING TRIVIA
Jim Hendricks
Unbeleivable. Musician Jim Henricks teamed up with Casse Elliot and ... TIM ROSE to form
The Big 3,
a mid sixties folk trio ! In 1966, Rose released his own solo interpretation of "Hey
Joe", which inspired Jimi to parform it.
Talk about a cosmic coincidence..
Tim Rose, Cass Elliot and Jim Hendricks !
