Personal history
Jesse was born in Reykjavík, Iceland to a Canadian Immigrant named Frau Norman, and if she is to believed, the father was Phil Collins, hence the boy's name, Phillipsen,
They emmigrated back to Canada when Jesse was 3 and his mother was killed less than a year later when a drunk driver bounced across the median and slammed into the 34 year old Fitness Instructer as she cycled home from work. The 15 year old "troubled" youth driving the stolen Porche was uninjured.
Jesse was raised by a rich uncle, Yger Nordsen and his wife Skadi whom he and his mother were already living with when his mother was killed. And thanks to never bringing her up, but answering the boy's questions (his mother was in SessRumnr), and always being respectful when she was brought up, she soon became a distant pleasant memory for Jesse. Jesse was never made to feel unloved or unwanted (his aunt claims to have the heart of a giantess), and had a reasonably normal childhood.
During the summer of 2011, when Jesse was 8 , Yger and Skadi announced that they would like to adopt a young boy, Jesse's age from Skadi's family in Iceland. They feared the boy would take it hard as they had never offered to adopt him, but instead Jesse was ecstatic at the thought of a cousin his age, and pointed out that his mom would love a nephew when she finally got back from SessRumnr. So, a little more than 6 months later, Svengi Ygersen finally came to live with his new family. The nine year old stood a head taller than his cousin, and spoke little English, but those bothered Jesse not at all, and within hours, the two boys were inseparable.
Jesse never thought askance at the fact that Sven didn't know what Twitter was or when asked about his favorite hockey team, he had to have hockey explained to him. He just accepted that Sven came from an old fashioned village, and patiently explained why the Ford Mustang GT was the best car ever made.
By September of 2012, Sven had pretty much caught up on everything he needed to know, and he joined Jesse in the 4th Grade. As Sven was still learning English, the school assigned Jesse to help Sven with his classes, which pleased them both. It became apparent quickly, that Sven and Jesse excelled when together and stumbled and struggled when they were apart.
For 6th grade, the school board thought they would foster independance in the boys and scheduled them to different class rooms. Jesse and Sven hated 6th Grade, as they were a year older than the rest of the kids, and the 7th Graders wanted nothing to do with them. As a matter of fact, the biggest kid in school was in the 7th grade, Dane Reinehart. And Jesse, with all his foresight, set his eyes on another 12-year-old, 6th-grader named Mandy Callypso, that Dane was also interested in. Lets be honest, every boy in that school was interested in her, but most had the common sense to know Dane would beat them senseless, for even talking to her. For the most part, Mandy couldn't give a rats ass about Dane's affections, and he was forever showering gifts on her. But, Gods forbid any other boy talk to her, he would get livid with jealousy. That wouldn't stop Jesse though, he didn't have the common sense of a ratatosk.
One day in January of 2015, Jesse sidled up to Amanda in the cafeteria and began with his best lines. He never knew whether she was impressed or not; Dane coldcocked him. So, Sven hit Dane and they went crashing through the food kiosk landing both boys at the feet of the football coach, Adonis Jackman. The coach had them both in the principals office before you could blow a ref's whistle and they both received a two week suspension for fighting.
For that time, Sven still walked with Jesse to school and walked home with him afterward. One day, about 10 or 11 days into the two weeks, Sven wasn't waiting when he got out, so he started home alone. It was the opportunity Dane had been waiting for and he, and a couple lackeys, ambushed Jesse and began beating him up. Then, Sven arrived and thing's went downhill. He let out a roar and charged headlong into the three boys flailing fists and feet and forehead. Before Jesse knew it, the two lackeys were on the run and Sven was steadily beating the tar out of Dane, and beating him badly. Jesse grabbed Sven, who almost flattened him for his troubles and shook him back into his senses.
"We gotta get outa here," said Jesse, and both boys ran for home.
Dane didn't show up for school later that week or the next week either. When he did show up, the week after that, he had one eye bandaged and his left arm in a cast. He refused to talk about it, but he didn't pick on any kids anymore either.
The next time Jesse approached Mandy he said "Hi", and she interrupted with "I'm a lesbian, have you met my girlfriend?"
The butchy dark haired girl with her chuckled under her breath. Without missing a beat Jesse responded with "Cool, if I ever meet a girl who likes me, maybe we can double date." That endeared him to Mandy who has been friends with Jesse ever since.
He mentioned to the crew (Sven, Mandy and her GF Alex), the next summer, that he dreamed of being a rock star, so Mandy went to Alex and asked if she could make an electric guitar. Alex asked her dad about it, and he said, "why don't we build one together, girls?" First he got a quality guitar, a Fender Stratocaster, and let Alex disassemble it. Then, he, Alex and Mandy, built a near perfect replica of Jimi Hendrix's Stratocaster and presented it to Jesse for Yule.
Jesse's foster parents payed for guitar lessons and after 3 months, the 13-year-old was ready to quit in frustration. He was incompetant at guitar. Then he had one of his reoccuring dream themes where he was performing at a school dance. In the dream he was wailing away, an overdriven version of the National Anthem, and he looked out in the crowd and saw Jimi Hendrix dancing with the French teacher, mme Cherice. It was then he realised that he was playing his guitar like Jimi, upside-down and left handed. He woke with a start, and was struck with inspiration. You see, Jesse is left handed, but that is considered bad luck in a warrior, so his uncle trained him from childhood to use his right hand, making him effectively ambidextrous. In everything but guitar playing, apparently.
Jesse picked up his guitar and hesitantly put it on, upside down and backward, and he wailed. The howl of his electric guitar reverberated through the house waking up everybody to the, actually well played, sounds of Foxy Lady. Yger and Skadi were impressed, Svengi, whose room was next to Jesse's, not so much. He opened Jesse's door and Jesse swung around to face him with this huge grin on his face. Sven also wailed, on Jesse's head.
To be fair, Sven only punched his cousin once, but the feather-weight 13-year-old got knocked clear off his feet, crashed through his flimsy closet door and almost split his skull open on his battle axe. What sort of 13-year-old has a battle axe in his closet?
That was the beginning of Jesse Hendrix, the white Jimi. Most of what he played was Jimi Hendrix tributes, but he did write a few pieces inspired by Jimi, like the Canadian National Anthem overdriven and harmonic. The one thing Jesse didn't do, and always counciled against, was drugs, he didn't even drink, except a little mead at Yule.
Now, 5 years later, The Jesse Hendrix Experience has released a first album "More Experience", to local critical acclaim and the 18-year-old Jesse is celebrating his birthday on a Saturday, by performing at a Halloween Dance at Gladstone Secondary.
