Noble design

This is a classic example of design #4 from the pattern book Cottage Souvenir #2 - Revised and Enlarged, George F. Barber, architect. This is probably the house Barber designed for K. D. Lawrence in 1899, located on Noble Street in Electric Lovelady(land), Texas. Have you ever been? Have you ever been?

"Red House"

From the Wikipedia entry:

"Red House" is a blues song, written by famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix and originally recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

There are two different takes of this song: the original album version that appeared on the European issue of the Are You Experienced? album, and the alternative take on which bass player Noel Redding plays electric guitar tuned to resemble a bass guitar. Despite Hendrix's complaints, the song was omitted from the USA compilation release of the album because the recording company reportedly argued that "America does not like blues."

That sounds sort of like when Decca told Brian Epstein "guitar groups are on the way out."


I've heard this a hundred times, and that last line still makes me chuckle. Almost as good as "Move over Rover, and let Jimi take over."
