John Entwistle — English Musician born on October 09, 1944, died on June 27, 2002

John Alec Entwistle was an English musician, songwriter, singer, film and music producer, who was best known as the original bass guitarist for the English rock band The Who. He was the only member of the band to have formal musical training. His aggressive lead sound influenced many rock bass players. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Who in 1990... (wikipedia)

So by the time I taught myself the bass guitar at the age of 14, my hands were already pretty nimble.
I set myself up to be a bass guitarist and bass players get a lot more work than people like me.
That was the producer who produced a couple of my solo albums. He produced my second, third and fourth solo albums. It was his project and I just joined him on it. I sang on one and played bass on another one.
I mean, Eighteen years old is the age of consent in Europe and you can go anywhere and do anything you like. In America, it is dumb. At eighteen you should be able to do anything that you like, except get married.
I ain't heard anyone play like I do in my band and I am very happy about that.
