Kathy was the inspiration for many of Hendrix' compositions including "The Wind Cries Mary" (penned after an argument between Hendrix and Etchingham), "Foxy Lady" (during one of the first performances of this number Hendrix pointed her out from the stage), as the Katherina in "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" and in Send My Love to Linda (the original lyrics of which were Send My Love to Kathy until Etchingham objected to being named).
