In the late Summer of 1969, as a getaway, and to
begin planning his next musical endeavour, Jimi
Hendrix rented a farmhouse in upstate New York
near the villages of Shokan and Boiceville. There
he hung out with Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell, old
Nashville friend Larry Lee and a host of other
musicians, friends and hangers on, jamming,
writing new music and rehearsing the band that would later play the legendary Woodstock Festival with him. This place has become known in Hendrix lore as "Shokan House." In this series of photos taken by the late Willis Hogan (thanks to Billy Cox
for helping us to find Willis, and to Bill Nitopi for the leg work and research) we see Jimi and friends
enjoying the countryside and activities around the house.
