John Entwhistle started his musical career as a child, playing brass, and became something of a virtuoso on French horn.
He was the only formally musically trained member of The Who, and one of the very first recognized "melodic bass players".
A contemporary music journalist compared his unique sound to "a jetliner in drainpipe".
One of the most influential musicians ever to wield four strings and two fists of steel.
Mister John Entwhistle.

@JolieSaboteuse I saw them in 1980 from a side stage seat. 18 year old me didn't realize until then that John was the leader of the band.
