Founding MICROSOFT in 1975 with Bill Gates was the start of a stellar and multi-faceted career in which Paul G. Allen has achieved phenomenal success and wealth as a world business investor and leader, and earned deep respect worldwide as a philanthropist and patron of the arts and sport.

INTERESTING TO KNOW THE FACT …

 

that Paul also finds time to front a band  – The Paul Allen Band.

 

Here is an extract from a review blog of a gig that Paul’s band played at a 2008 Battle of the Bands charity concert held in New Orleans:

 

Paul played a killer guitar tonight..killer. I got an inkling that he was pretty good when I heard the band’s second song, a lovely blues song that I’d love to get on my Zune, but I was blown away by the next song, Paul’s rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze.

 

 

 

And it was Jimi Hendrix that Seattle-born Paul played at CES 2011 when he picked up a Gibson SG and played it through the OPC’s ‘Amplitube 3′ guitar amp modelling software.
