Brian Jones

[citation needed] Jones played guitar and harmonica and during performances especially at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond he proved to be a more lively and engaging performer than even Jagger. The baby Brian's second daughter Barbara (named after Brian's surviving sister) was born in Chicago Illinois. Jones listened to classical music as a child but preferred blues particularly Elmore James and Robert Johnson.

His innovative use of traditional or folk instruments such as the sitar and marimba was integral to the changing sound of the band. ".
