Simply Maw-velous: Jane Bohan's Maw-sit-sit Jewels

A rare and uncommon moss-green mineral call Maw-sit-sit is the star of new jewelry selections from New York City–based jewelry designer Jane Bohan .

An artist that dies will obviously never be able to sit down and conceptualize another album, song, etc. Maybe that is what he meant. Is a new Hendrix compilation representative of what he would be playing / writing if he were still alive today?
