Jimi Hendrix: Experience Music Project Opens in Seattle (Part 2)
Charles Bermant, Rolling Stone Online, 26 July 2000
SHORTLY BEFORE BO Diddley began his set at the Experience Music Project celebration, Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Noel Redding approached him with greetings from a mutual friend – and a request to sit in. Diddley agreed, and a throbbing 'Mona' was the result. While he's lost the hair and now seems to be a shy natty type, Redding held his own against Diddley's blues wail. And those attending were treated to a brand new memorable experience.
