In the late 1960s, 15-year-old Bob Wolfman and a friend were hanging out in his favorite neighborhood music shop, he says. Right around closing time, a customer wandered in. When Wolfman looked over, he was astonished to discover the newcomer was none other than Wolfman's musical hero, Jimi Hendrix. Wolfman struck up a conversation with his musical idol and then, he says, Hendrix took him and his friend up the street for a steak dinner, where the two continued to talk music and guitar customization.
