Swalkeling - South Molton Street

A visit to the Handel /Hendrix House just off Oxford Street London recently gave me a few lovely ‘swalkeling’ finds and food for thought about both these musicians. Handel seemed to use his house as a shop front and it must have been amazing to come and hear preformances in his front living room, so there must have been lots of foot fall in this area at the time. Hendrix was happy to live in what had become a non-residential area, he could improvise all night without annoying the neighbours. His bedroom, fully equiped with a landline telephone ( those were the days) must have been truly atmospheric for anyone who got a chance to hear him jam at home. Fabulous !
