One Rainy Wish
Jimi: “The piccolo sound on ‘If 6 Was 9’ was actually a Moroccan flute I bought for two shillings. You can get that same sound out of a guitar. We’ve got a gadget call the Octavia that we use on a song called “One Rainy Wish.” It boosts the guitar twice as high.”
Chas: “I was very keen on that song from the very first moment I heard him play it to me . Jimi recorded three guitars for that song - not counter playing as he had done with ‘The Wind Cries Mary.’ These guitar parts each picked up where the other one left off. We had some trouble recording it, as there were originally some gaps between the notes, which caused Noel to struggle a bit with the tempo, but it all came together nicely in the end.”
Eddie: “Jimi would sometimes say, ‘Make the guitar sound green or purple and I would adjust the sound accordingly. he would say, ‘Yeah, man, that’s it!’ To me green suggested reverb, while I always interpreted purple, a more regal colour, to mean rich distortion.
Roger Mayer: "I spent a lot of time with Jimi privately, hanging out and talking. We were normally using colours to describe the sounds.
Noel: "Did 1 number again today, Graham [Nash] came around."

Jimi goes on a shopping spree in the morning, buying some things in "The Wizard" clothing store and some cassettes from "Records Hawaii."
Mike Kelly (shop owner, Records Hawaii): "We were the first free-standing record store in Honolulu (we opened on 8 November 1968), on Kapiolani Boulevard... The story really isn't exciting other than the fact that we were selling cassettes at that time, 4-tracks, 8-tracks, reel-to-reel, and albums. So we had all of those different configurations of albums.
And Jimi came in by himself, and everybody else recognised him. He was just thumbing through, looking at cassettes. And I thought that it was odd that he would purchase his own cassettes. He was kind of leaning on the counter looking at the cassettes and once in awhile I was looking over there (we didn't bother him too much), but he seemed to nod out once in a while. [Laughs] No, he wasn't really with it! And who knows if it was drug induced, lack of sleep, or what it was."
