LONDON (AP) – Jimi Hendrix’s former girlfriend remembers the surreal moments when music fans would knock on their apartment door in London and want to talk about composer George Frideric Handel. Kathy Etchingham says Hendrix would show the students around and they were oblivious to who Hendrix was. Hendrix rented in the same building where Handel lived in the 18th century. Hendrix’s former apartment has been restored to how it looked in the 1960s and will open to visitors tomorrow. The bedroom may look awfully tidy for a rock star, but Etchingham says Hendrix was a former U.S. Army soldier and always made his bed.
