Where did Jimi Hendrix get inspiration for castles made of sand?
I heard this story about the song, but I'm not sure about its relevance.
Somewhere during his stay in Europe Jimi remained in a hippie commune near the Moroccan city of Essaouira, on the Atlantic coast.
This commune was situated near the remnants of a new part of the city that was built somewhere in the 18th century, but got abandoned due to it being overtaken by the desert. It was litterally half dunes, half buildings ... Which would apply to the title of "Castles made of sand".
Anyone who can back this up ?

Who did jimi Hendrix play with?
I'll give you a couple, because I was there. A band known as Cat Mother played great rock and roll covers; Johnny B. Goode, and so on, and really set the pace for a great rock concert. Then a band called C.T.A. performed music for the ages, literally. Introduction was their first song, and I can't remember the order, but Beginnings, Does Anybody Know What Time It Is? and I'm sure, I'm A Man was on the list; have you guessed that it was Chicago, yet? They were called Chicago Transit Authority. 1969 was when you could get three bands on a bill for $6.50. Not that concerts today are any less vital, because the artists are still great. But the Jimi Hendrix Experience was a phenomenon back then. He wore a purple leather vest for the gig, with fringe, and his hair was pulled back into a pony tail. He didn't burn anything, except the air of rock and roll music.
