I'd gone professional when I was about seventeen.
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.
On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.
I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it.
I wouldn't know how I would have coped with The Beatles' sort of fame.
