What was Jimi Hendrix's original name?

Was Jimi left-handed or right-handed? (I read in a booklet contained in the DVD/CD set Jimi Hendrix Feedback that he was right-handed, but on the net that he was left-handed)

Which artist did Jimi play guitar for on his 1970 album?

Origional name: James Marshall Hendrix
Left handed - he sometimes played a right handed guitar upside down and restringed it.
to be honest i don't know this last one..got a clue?

The reason for the first question is what I recently learned from the net:

His original name was Johnny Allen Hendrix, as named by his mother. His father later changed it to James Marshall Hendrix. I read in the booklet with Jimi Hendrix Feedback DVD/CD that it was Johnny Allen Hendrix. I even wondered if this package was fake, but then checked it out on the net. Here is one website that can confirm it.

Interesting. I never knew that.

I'm still not convinced on the second question by anything I've read.

Third question hint:

He was and (presumably) still is in a supergroup.

A supergroup? is that a group with members from already famous bands?
and i can guarentee he was a left hand guitarist...and what about the first one? i'm not sure which one you would take as his name was changed, but i spoe that doesn't really matter.i would have gone for james marshall..

Yes, that's a supergroup.

I agree - James Marshall Hendrix is surely correct. I just find it an interesting fact.

But Johnny Allen Hendrix is his true original name. Jimi's father had it legally changed. I found that on another site, but sorry I'm too tired right now to relocate it.

Yeah it say's that one the last jimi website you just posted , so i would'nt worry..i sort of knew he was Johnny Allen as well, but the name that came first was obviously James Marshall..sorry still don'y know what the third one is lol. Is it clapton or something?

I won't say yet who it was, so the others might have a guess. But, as far as I know it's the only time Hendrix appeared on another artist's album after he became famous. A really good song too. Bluesy.

That booklet I've got says 'Although Jimi wrote with his right hand he played guitar with his left.' Presumably, to get more control over the neck with his right hand.

He was Johnny Allen first, but not since because his name was changed legally.

Yeah like i said he was definatley at left hand 'guitarist' , he also held cigarette in left hand, and wrote with his right hand..weird huh lol..and one final guest is the last answer one of those awful live recordings with Johnny winter or something, or it maybe miles davis/sly stone, someone like that..i'm sure i remember something..anyway i'll let the others have a guess.

RIGHT!   A really good song. Do you know it?

New Hendrix release coming out in December:

http://www.daggerrecords.com/

Just found it.

hello green apple, ive got the cd its a great album . im got most of crosby stills and nash , the first album is a truly great album , i guess you have heard it?
am also a big hendrix fan.

Hello Mr. kite. CSN's first album is a classic. I love it. They never reached the same standard with subsequent albums though IMO. I like the other stuff though too. I've also got the 4-CD box set. Loads of previously unreleased really good stuff on that.

I like Hendrix a lot. Have you got the 4-CD book set? I'd really like to know what it's like. Now, in Britain, it's been reduced in price in one shop (HMV) and contains a DVD of live performances too in a new edition. Lots of alternate takes and some previously unreleased stuff on the CDs.
