Jimi Hendrix had 2 guys named
Jimi Hendrix had 2 guys named Randy in his pre-Experience, NY based band. Jimi nicknamed one of the guys Randy California, in order to distinguish him from the other Randy, nicknamed Randy Texas.
I read this a long time ago. For reference...
from wikipedia:
The stage name "Randy California" was given to him by Hendrix to distinguish him from another Randy in the band, Randy Palmer, whom Hendrix dubbed "Randy Texas".

They played my college gym
Spirit played my college gym (Alfred State, N.Y.) around '72. I was probably paying closer attention to who was bogartin' the Mex or some co-ed's, so I honestly don't remember much about it.
Great "Hendrix-gave-me-my-name trivia"? I geuss I'm fascinated by useless information.
