@diamondbackseye If I can quote Alan Iverson of all people: "Practice. We're talking about practice." JMH was the deepest into his craft and discipline as any artist/scholar/professional that has ever come to my attention. He was created by a collision of ethnic/cultural/economic/perso
nal factors and conquered the whole scene. A phenomena that was actually bigger than the established forms of his era, he created a new genre unto himself that energized rock, r&b, pop, jazz,... all of it. -

@g0ldbuG I Found it Was a bunch railroads that all meet at one point in Pennsylvania, but jimi always just made up names of songs even if he had one cause he was so high he'd forget the names... lol

@diamondbackseye I've wondered about that same question and have asked it myself here on youtube too but I don't think I ever got an answer about it. I don't know what the significance of it is. Did Jimi have a cool experience there? Is it a real place? Did he just make it up to sound like the kind of name he wanted the song to have?

@Bluezking Pali Gap is in Hawaii, Maui I think. Check scene in Rainbow Bridge
That's a cool idea...maybe in the future someone'll open a bar on Mars or the Moon called Villanova Junction. A Hendrix themed joint that people & various "visitors" can chug a pint and groove to Hendrix....awesome!

Great riff- I'd have to say the L.A. Forum 4/25/70 version is tops, incredible improvising in that one. One thing I'd never read about is where the title Villanova Junction comes from why did he call it that...perhaps it's somewhere in the states, a town?
