project BAM! 5

one might ask: who could possibly jam with jimi hendrix and compliment his brilliant style. buddy miles could, i would say. buddy miles grew up just a short ways from here in omaha, nebraska. he joined hendrix and billy cox in a brilliant live 3-piece called band of gypsies. the album, band of gypsies has remained in my top 10 best-album-of-all-time list for probably the last 10 years. one song the band performed live was one that miles wrote himself. its called "changes" or "these changes". i remember first hearing this song and being totally blown away that he could sing so greatly and play drums at the same time. needless to say, he is a great musician. in my opinion, he's probably the best drummer that ever accompanied the worlds greatest rock guitarist.
