There it was, a Black-light poster of Hendrix looming over the bar-keeps shoulder, "likely pinned there in '70", or so he says.

The first thing I notice is her dark drawing eyes. Her nose sprinkled ever so slightly with freckles. Her smile curious and mischievous like a young girl who just stole her first kiss.
