Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson got his first taste of life in Abbot, Texas. Born on April 29, 1933, he sure has come a long way from the days when he worked as a bible salesman and cotton picker. Even though his career spanned more than 60 years, he has always used his guitar called “trigger”, which you can see below. Trigger has been fixed at some point along the way, though he has always been the perfect companion to the laidback style with its touches of country, blues, rock, and gypsy jazz. He is most popular for songs like “Night Life” and “Whiskey River”. He might be well into his 80s now, but he is still rocking it out.

Bobby Krieger
Born on January 8, 1946 in Los Angeles, California, Bobby Krieger was one of the later additions to the Doors. In fact, he was the last of the permanent members to climb aboard. We sure are glad that he did as his jazz and flamenco training helped give the band this incredibly unique sound when they go on stage that we all know and love. Krieger faced a rather a unique setback during his time with the band as it did not have a bass player or a rhythm guitar section. This means that he had a huge void to fill in terms of the sound. He is also a good songwriter since he was the one who wrote some of their biggest hits: “Light My Fire”, “Roadhouse Blues”, and “Riders on the Storm”.
