Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.
But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix.
On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.
I'd gone professional when I was about seventeen.
At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.
I came to join the Experience by going for an audition for Eric Burdon who was just forming the New Animals at that point, after the original Animals had broken up.
