I Went To See John Mayall At

Strangely Enough, Through All Those School Years I Decided At 13 Or 14 I Was Going To Be A Musician And So School Was Just Something To Get Out Of The Way, A Waste Of Time And Not To Bother With It.

I Began To Learn A Lot Of Chords And Rhythms. It Was A Bit Boring At The Time But Came In Very Handy Later On.

I Started Off Playing The Clarinet, After I Was Inspired By Listening To My Dad's Benny Goodman Records.

So If You See Ten Years After, It's Not Me Anymore. I'm Very Happy With What I Am Doing Now.

It Was By Listening To Goodman's Band, That I Began To Notice The Guitarist Charlie Christian, Who Was One Of The First Musicians To Play Solos In A Big Band Set-up.
