This Date in History: 12 days into his career, Bill landed his first gig in Leicester, UK, on January 12th 1968, with the South London group the Savoy Brown Blues Band, featuring guitarist Kim Simmonds (see pic). The band was managed by Kim's brother Harry. An ill-fit from the start, Bill was fired after just three gigs for tinkering around with the rhythm, collecting £5 ($8) a night for his trouble.
