January Birthdays – rock stars, violinists, questionable characters

Happy New Year!

January is the month of rebirth so let’s take a look at some of the, er, births in January!  And, since January is #OTW’s violin month, we’ve included some violinists.  So, back off, drummers.  Your month is next (and I did include Dave Grohl, btw, because…Grohl.)
