I've been reading up on bassists lately, and thus I know that Spoonful was actually written by the one and only Willie Dixon.
Let's get a little more modern now.
Although he's best known for his bass skills, this man originally started out playing trumpet and had no ambitions whatsoever to join a rock band. He still plays the horn regularly now, and has appeared blowing his horn on albums for Jane's Addiction and the Mars Volta, among others.
Who the hell am I talking about?
