A note written by the late Jimi Hendrix to a teenage fan will now be auctioned off. Anthea Connell said she was “awestruck” when the star spotted her, aged 19, at Boston Gliderdrome in Lincolnshire in March 1967. She had been watching her boyfriend’s band set up when Hendrix came over to talk to her, before handing her a note. It read: “To Anthea – Love and kisses to you forever. I wish I could really talk to you. Stay sweet, Jimi Hendrix.” “He started talking to me and I was so shocked I can’t even remember what we said. I’d love to tell you we had a deep and meaningful conversation – I must have mumbled something. I was totally awestruck. Jimi Hendrix was a complete icon.” The note, which is framed along with autographs from Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, is expected to fetch upwards of $4,000 at Hansons in Etwall, Derbyshire, on October 23.
