User:Trikgunn/Jimi `hand tricks´ Wilkes

Trikgunn (talk) 13:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Jimi Wilkes,the offspring of Samuel and louise Wilkes,was born in Baltimore,Maryland U.S.A,and comes from a family of musicians who not only played well but were entertainers as well. Since he was a kid, he was writing poems that he later turned into songs when he picked up the guitar. A left-handed player like his famous uncle, Frederick (Money) Johnson who was guitarist for the fabulous DOO WOP group, The Swallows, There was always music to do and people who would listen. Coming up in the music scene with so many diverse artists doing small clubs to huge concert halls, Jimi himself became a stick of dynamite being compared to Jimi Hendrix even though he never heard of him until later in his career. But not that much later. When he was 16, He was offered a chance to go see Hendrix but turned it down to do a rehearsal with his own band at the time, which then included the infamous Dennis Chambers. He has performed with and shared the stage with a galaxy of world renowned musicians. Dennis Chambers, Hiram Bullock, Harold Melvin, E.J. Rice,Ricky Peterson, Kevin Tony (Blackbirds) and… and…anyway now he´s writing for his own project again and he´s ready to put the stage on fire. Sometimes it´s hard to classify a musician who has so much diversity to his or her advantage. Therefore, you be the judge.
