    Got it Roller. His recording studio debut. Hendrix was greatly influenced by the Isleys and on his epic 'Electric Ladyland' album the track 'Have you ever been (to Electric Ladyland)' was recorded in the Isley's vocal style as his tribute to them...

    This video is believed to be the earliest of Hendrix playing with the Isleys band in his unmistakeable left hand style...

    Yep - that's correct. The bridge was so poorly built that when squaddies from Chelsea barracks marched over it it would shake...

    Ahh, I think I know this from the swimming teacher at our girls' club. Was it what is now called butterfly, because it was not a recognized swimming style in itself but was not illegal to do the overarm technique at the time in other races and was used because it was faster. Banned now obviously as it now has its own event.

    I would have said Central line trains...yes I know that is pushing it a bit

    All tube trains are red, even those not on the Central line...but the Central line runs Ruislip to Ongar

    OK pushing it big time

    I think you are scratching around in the right area, but to give you a clue to the best of my knowledge there is only one of them, so it is not a tube or a bus.
