Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky
CHAPTER 1
September 18, , the Notting Hill Gate section of London. Samarkand Hotel, 22 Lansdowne Crescent, garden suite. The front door is wide open.
The bedroom is dark, blacked out. A solitary figure is on the queen-size bed.
The bed is extremely wet. Jimi is fully dressed. He is on his back spread-eagled like Christ upon the cross. His black jacket is covered by a towel across his shoulders, both soaking wet. Vomit and red wine cover him and are all over the bed. The stench is strong, dominated by the smell of the cheap wine. The stain that suffuses his clothing and the bedding is red, from the red wine, something Jimi Hendrix seldom drank.
Lately it has been no secret that he has big enemies. His loving friends are around him always, yet as spaced out as they usually are, what could they do if he was seriously threatened?
He is alone in the room.
A body, so still against the thin gray mute of London dawn. A room deep somewhere. Misty in soundless sleep. A gray aura murmurs from the long thin body upon the blanket and coverlet. Gas heat whispers underground where the earth rumbles with the sound of machine against concrete. Rising against the pale blue India-print curtains, tiny slits of dawn filter

I've heard a lot about Ritchie Valens from Dion DiMucci from their time together on the Winter Dance Party in and Chan Romero told us about the influence Ritchie's music had on his career. Because Ritchie died so young, I haven't met many that had a connection to him. I was excited to get this story from The Beach Boys' Bruce Johnston and his connection to both Ritchie and Donna Ludwig as well as learning about LA's Dick "Huggy Boy" Hugg . Here's what Bruce sent in:
In the early days of my music path (my age at the time was 16) and in the summer of , I was in a Los Angeles local house band called Kip Tyler & The Flips. Our job was to back up the 'one hit wonders of the day' at dance & shows around LA County and we often backed up Ritchie Valens at the start of his recording & performing career. Ritchie's first released single at the time was "Come On Let's Go" which reached a national USA chart position of #42 in My role on stage in the band back then was to play keyboards while Ritchie played his guitar and sang. This took place a few short months before the release of Ritchie's "La Bamba" and "Donna" recordings.
