Poll: best version of Little Wing

[Thee Totaller]

in a dive, SRV wins

That's a good question and a tough answer.

But if you would've/could've asked Clapton/SRV, I'd be willing to bet they would both have said the Hendrix version.

And I would agree.

i voted hendrix for sure--though stevies' always moves me also

on a sweet note--and i know you drunkards have a tender spot in your heart--this video (set to hendrix little wing is about an akita who adopts a baby robin-play with sound and it is only 2 minutes)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=gq8LHVduqJg

here is the story to the video:

My 13 yo akita named Kikka, adopted a baby robin that i rescued from a fallen nest. The other babies drowned in nearby pond... this was the only survivor. The parents where nowhere to be found. having volunteered at a wildlife rehab center as a teen. I decided to raise the bird until it could survive on its own.
Kikka seemed to be very interested in the bird ...and after a couple of days i let her examine the bird. She would very gently sniff her, even very delicately massage her with her mouth just as if it were a newborn puppy. The bird would sleep on her hip during the day. When the bird started hopping all over the place, Kikka would follow it.
It got to the point that the bird would seek out the dog and vice versa. On a few occasions, when Kikka would be on her bed and the bird was hopping nearby she would very gently pull the bird by its tail onto her bed using her front teeth.
At that point the bird would hop onto kikka's hip for a nap.
Weeks later, the bird was starting to fly well . Early in the morning i would take the bird with Kikka in tow to the lawn hoping it would start to forage for food on its own. One day the bird flew to the top of the chimney of my house. Kikka yelped and cried. She seemed to sense the danger that was lurking above...a red-tail hawk, but there was nothing we could do . This video is in memory to Kikka's bird

Kikka is such a sweet dog. Give her a hug for Martha and I.

btw.. what is up with all the hawks this year? Those suckers are all over the place. Use to see one every once and a while, now all the time.



Oh, I love SRV's version, but I got to go with Hendrix and this is from a huge Stevie Ray fan.

Rick...the video is not our dog..you remember our dog Koda when you guys were over? (check sig link)

I would gladly hug that dog in the vid though-so sweet.

As far as hawks go-yes they have been around--a few houses over there is a hawks nest somewhere in the high trees--we see them and I definately hear them in the noon hour..i think the babies are being born..

I could have sworn I typed Koda. Well, give Koda a hug from us.

One of these days I will learn how to read and type.
