Hey everyone.
So I've just started to write down my ideas for my latest piece. And I'm slightly stuck with a switching pov problem. To switch or not too switch?
I have read before that there are no set rules only guidelines with writing etc, but some advice from some absolute writers would be handy.
Its probably easier if I just show it in examples.
ok here goes.

Did you ever meet Jimmy hendrix? I'm guessing your answer is no. Well I did. I actually had a guitar battle with him. How? Well it's probably easier if I start from the beginning.
1. Switch to third
1967.
There sat young James Elveran, watching in awe as....etc
2. Stay in first.
1967.
There I was, watching in awe as...etc
(This is not my real piece)
Now over to you, What do you prefer?
