    I share mine with:

    Chris Isaak
    Terri Nunn (Berlin)
    Georgie Fame
    Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic)
    Amen (Lordi)
    Gretchen Wilson
    Mick Jones (The Clash/Big Audio Dynamite)
    Eleanor Parker
    Billy Davis Jr. (5th Dimension)
    Ariana Grande

    Colin Greenwood (Radiohead) was actually born on the same day as me, 26 June, 1969. Hurrah.

    On our 8th birthday Elvis played his last ever concert. We weren't there.

    There's Mozart. But the one I'm really excited about is Elmore James.

    George Kooymans (Golden Earring)
    Bobby McFerrin
    Bernie LaBarge (Canadian guitarist I'd never heard of)

    That's me as well.

    Zappa passed away on Dec 4 and I was born three weeks later on what would have been his 53rd.

    If I could find a drummer, I'd have a pretty decent band:

    David Byrne
    Jack Bruce
    Dan Auerbach
    Bobby Darin
    C.C. DeVille
    Ian Astbury
    ...and Fab from Milli Vanilli. (Oh, but you said musicians....)

    George Lucas and Mark Zuckerberg could sponsor us. With Eric Morecambe as our compere.
