On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.

At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.

Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.

I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it.

But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix.

I wouldn't know how I would have coped with The Beatles' sort of fame.

I took up violin because my best mate had taken it up, so I did likewise.
