I remember hearing this story. Around the same time I heard the Elton John?Crimson Queen joke.

I thought this was an interesting story. Robert Fripp was talking to an audience about the time he met Jimi Hendrix. King Crimson were playing at the Revolution club in Mayfair in 1969. In the you tube video, Robert Fripp starts talking about how he had to sit down when playing guitar instead of standing up. During the intermission of the show, Jimi Hendrix walks out on stage and asks if Robert Fripp could shake his hand. Twelve years later he bumps into Michael Giles sister-in law, loretta Lang in a book store, who asks Robert Fripp if he remembers meeting Jimi Hendrix in 1969. Robert Fripp responds " Of Course I do, that's my Jimi Hendrix story. Loretta Lang says" Well, did you know I was sitting at Jimi Hendrix's table, and he was jumping up and down saying this is the best band in the world"

Feel free to watch the you tube video.
