Three Ideas Developed For JIMI HENDRIX Park In Seattle

According to the Seattle Times, three concepts for JIMI HENDRIX Park in Seattle will be unveiled at a workshop Thursday evening at the Northwest African American Museum.
The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce reports the concepts developed by landscape architect Murase Associates center on themes of butterfly, guitar and spiral flower. The firm will have a final design concept by August 10 for the 6-acre park in the Central District, adjacent to the old Colman School.
The UK's Mail Online reported yesterday that the doctor who attempted to save JIMI HENDRIX on the night that the guitarist died said it was 'plausible' he was murdered because he 'drowned in red wine'.
But the iconic musician may have choked and died because he did not know how to drink the substance, close friend Meic Stevens has revealed.
Speaking publicly for the first time about the night leading to Hendrix's death, the singer-songwriter said the star was mixing red wine with lager and drinking the concoction from a pint glass.
He said: ‘I was with Jimi Hendrix the night he died. He had been drinking red wine with me - even though he had never drunk red wine in his life before.
The 69-year-old claimed he and Hendrix had been having a night out with Marmalade stars Gary Farr and Jimmy Cregan, as well as ERIC CLAPTON, at the infamous Scotch of St James bar in Mayfair.
