were going strong in the charts, the parties were fantastic. Bob was there,
I
so was Jimi, and Janis made a short appearance before we were all locked
up. t You should have seen the papers, oh how we chortled.
w Unfortunately the imagination can get somewhat wild, and scenes like this
live a only in the mind of a humble journo, like myself. Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix
and s Janis Joplin are sadly deceased, so to come face to face with them is

Upon entrance visitors are supplied with headsets. These pieces of equipment
allow wearers to hear only the sound emitting from the area designated to
e
g
a particular exhibit. This is done via infra red signals that are picked up by
the d
, headset and converted into sound. Unfortunately this provokes one small
problem i
y which I discovered, if your headset is slightly off-line the beam will
not
n
o be picked up, and therefore no sound will be heard. This is rectified by
a
t
u small adjustment in head angle, so it's not a major worry.
