Marshall, as in Jimi Marshall Hendrix?

You all know what Marshall is and what Marshall does and if this is right you've probably known this all along as well but I sure didn't. I was looking up Jimi Hendrix yesterday on wikipedia and found this:

"Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington, USA. Named Johnny Allen Hendrix at birth by his mother[4], he was re-named James Marshall Hendrix in memory of his father's deceased brother"

I didn't know that much about Jimi Hendrix since he died long before I was even born. Which was why I looked him up on wikipedia (I was too lazy to read the full article though so I still don't know that much about him ) BUT, is this where Marshall comes from?

Nope, not the same. Read the Wikipedia entry on Marshall Amplification for the history of Jim Marshall and Marshall amps

That may be a different Jim. However, There is a great history behind Hendrix and the Marshall amp. Here is a link to a page that has a great history lesson for everyone into classic rock.
