At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.
But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix.
I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it.
On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.
We had no sleep or days off or anything like that and then, when the band became big, Hendrix became a star and looked down at us lot.
Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.
