Local musician revisits Hendrix’s ‘Rainbow Bridge’

Shortly after releasing the UFO- and alien-inspired combination DVD and CD “Area 51 Suite,” Arroyo Grande singer, songwriter and guitarist Merrell Fankhauser is reaching into the past to explore similar themes in a film by a guitar legend.

“Rainbow Bridge” was a 1972 film featuring Jimi Hendrix, who had died two years before, and a cast of eccentrics using his music and numerous UFO sightings to explore their spirituality.

Fankhauser is now delving into the film’s message more fully with “Rainbow Bridge Revisited.”

He said the documentary was Maui journalist Steve Omar’s idea, and the two produced it together.

Fankhauser said the two had fun looking up and interviewing some of the original cast of the Hendrix movie that was filmed on Maui.

He said it was interesting to hear their tales about hanging out with Hendrix and the UFOs they said hovered around during the filming.
