Larry Lee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Larry Lee was a long time friend of Jimi Hendrix and eventually joined Hendrix's new band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows as rhythm guitar player. The newly formed band played the Woodstock Music Festival. Larry Lee joined Gypsy Sun and Rainbows a week before Woodstock occurred. Hendrix had called on a person who was close to him to join him as a second guitarist. Lee had only been back from the war for two weeks before Hendrix called upon him. In concert, he seemed to have culture shock, as he performed with a head scarf around his face. Lee preferred to play a Gibson Les Paul guitar. Shortly after Woodstock Larry left the band.
