Craig Chaquico
b. 26 September 1954, Sacramento, California, USA. Already interested in music, when he was aged 12 Chaquico was severely injured in a road accident. In hospital, with a broken leg, wrist, thumb and both arms, he was encouraged by his doctor to play the guitar as a form of therapy. Although self-taught, he progressed rapidly and while still in high school was playing engagements in his home-town. Inspired by the music of bands and artists such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, he gained a formidable reputation and at the age of 16 he was invited by Grace Slick to play lead guitar in the new band she was forming with Paul Kantner, the Jefferson Starship. His reputation spread, owing in part to his compositions for the band, which included "Jane", "Find Your Way Back", "Can't Find Love", and "Layin' It On The Line". Over a period of two decades the achievements of Jefferson Starship and Starship were many, including 13 gold and platinum albums, a Golden Globe award, and nominations for a Grammy and an Oscar.
