Who was “Wizz”?
Raymon “Wizz” Jones, influenced by Bill Haley, played guitar in the streets of Soho in London when Rod (in the age of 17) met him. Rod joined in with his mouthorgan. Because there weren’t many street musicians by this time the two were an attraction. It was “Wizz” who introcued Rod to the unsteady life of a musician. During the next 18 months they traveled several times to Paris where they earned money as buskers.
