My personal favourite out of all the above has to Jimi Hendrix, I grew up listening to every single song of his and I was born in 1984. My dad had a huge collection of Jimi Hendrix and was a big fan, he went to see Hendrix play 20 times. I have always been interested in music and can play grand pianos, keyboard piano, drums and guitars. but shame I couldn’t make it big.
