So it shouldn&#8217;t come as any surprise that he is still wearing them in the afterlife.<\/p>\n<p>He started wearing them when he was young because he admired other guitar musicians like Santana. He said that not\u00a0wearing them while playing guitar felt\u00a0like Samson having his hair cut off by Delilah. He also felt that it made him stand out as an artist, plus girls would go crazy over them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7392\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7392\" style=\"width: 683px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7392 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AndreaMai_Heels-1911-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a92018 by Andrea Mai.

But I suppose that because he wore them all the time, his feet would have conformed to heels, and flat shoes would have become uncomfortable for him.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, when I was in Brighton at the beach. I could hear footsteps on the recording that sounded like high heels on the pavement. I was wearing flat rubber soled shoes, I was by myself and no one else was around. I really think these are from P&#8217;s heels.<\/p>\n<p>To hear these cli[s fully , you may need to use headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.<\/p>\n<p>This clip was when we were <strong>walking<\/strong> up some steps at the beach, it was early in the morning and I was alone.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-7387-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Heels-2018-05-24-0900.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Heels-2018-05-24-0900.mp3\">http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Heels-2018-05-24-0900.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>And then this one was when we were in town. I stopped for a photo and it sounds like he was <strong>skipping<\/strong> around.
