Audience research continued..

After a day spent with screaming children and trying to restrain myself from slaughtering them with the instruments they help and so hopelessly attempted to play today, I found that the classic rock legends and creators are known within even the youngest of our society.
Volunteering at a childrens holiday music school allows you to see the music that the children are exposed to either through the media such as TV or radio or influenced through what their parents listen too. - A group of young boys with a few basic instruments were able to play the backing track to Jimi Hendrix 'Wild thing' without even knowing who Hendrix is or even that the song already existed; if anything the children thought that a current 'chart' artist had sung it. How wrong they were and in some respects kinda' insulting to the legend himself that is Hendrix!



So here you go the song itself by (personally) one of the greatest artists ever :)
