- This clip starts with some comments from lawyer and music journalist Jack Batten, and then quickly changes to then-local news reporter Jack Webster, who traveled from Vancouver to Seattle during the Fall of 1968 to interview Jimi Hendrix' Grandmother Nora, who speaks of her recollections seeing Jimi play the Vancouver Pacific Coliseum on September 7th, 1968.
"And the way he was pickin' that guitar... ...I don't see how he could stand all that noise" and "I knew he was musical, but I didn't know he had THAT much music in him!" are my favorite quotes.
What a lovely woman, who's grandson turned out to be one of the most remarkable musical forces of the 20th century. Jimi's grandmother passed away at the age of 100 in 1984...
oh my goodness I love the wisdom and stories told by elderly people. She's so cute.
What a badass grandma. Seemed like a nice lady.
She has the same Native American/African American essence as my great grandmother.
Lovely to see Jimi's Grandmother. Please have a look at the time I brought Jimi's Dad out onto the stage at my convention. Jimi Hendrix Convention.
She loved her grandson!
great video! his grandmother is a sweet lady & I don't know why the "drug's had to be mentioned Thanx for uploading :))
lovely lady.
a beautiful soul...god bless her
That's neat. She looks a lot like her grandson. More so than other family members I'd say...
Very interresting interview with Jimi's sweet nana.
Sad the drugs got him so young.
God love her! Sweet lady!
Thanks for posting this :)

The drugs didnt kill him.
Your right about one of the most remarkable musical forces of the 19th century that is for sure.Uli john roth said something similar in a newspaper when monika danneman died in 95 96..But i think it was in responce to cathy etchinghams comments putting hendrix down just because she's so tired of people always making him out to be GOD..Her memories of in jimi's are nice beginning but by 69 she said he was lost drug abuser..Some of the reasons are managment and touring 2 fucking years straight..
@hj179 drugs didnt get him
She was older than babe Ruth.christ
As a drug user, to an extent drugs can help you, but at a point any drug can become a crutch and be more of a nuisance than a help. As a person that has had friends in both categories i thing that this should have further consideration!
you are calling Her narrow-minded? Drugs killed him she was right.
