    RIP. He certainly lived though an interesting "Experience," although I think this graf in the AP story is off just a bit ..

    "Hendrix, Redding and Mitchell held their first rehearsal in October 1996, according to the Hall of Fame's Web site."

    Angels? You're assuming quite a bit for a rocker from the 60s.

    Jeez Hondo, go listen to the New Christy Minstrels somewhere else.

    Next to Moon, Mitchell was one of the most innovative drummers of his time.

    RIP.

    I recommend the BBC Sessions set for a good sense of what Mr. Mitchell was about.
