Just an observation, and not that this data is anything too esoteric,
but how wild it is that we know so much about some people - the detail
that history records about seemingly mundane things just because you
happened to turn into (the following just my opinion) one of the best
songwriters music has ever known. just wild.. and as time goes on
Google (or the next thing) will record all of our behavior whether or
not we're famous. :)

Sorry for the OT on an already OT, but it now struck me as interesting
that we can pull this detail on the timeline of when someone used a
particular instrument and how it was acquired.
