From "Jagger: Rebel, Rock Star, Rambler, Rogue" by Mark Spitz:

"None of these Englishmen could hope to really be like Muddy Waters, but twenty-year old Elmo Lewis, aka Brian Jones of Cheltenham, was certainly giving it a shot. Shortly after Mick and Keith had started frequenting the dilapidated Ealing, its poorly ventilated walls sweating, they met Jones and his friend, the conservatively dressed Ian Stewart, lantern jawed and only twenty-five, but boasting the air of a much older gentleman. Brian, like Mick and Keith, had become an evangelical blues fan in his teens, but while Mick was doing pull-ups in Dartford and Keith was floundering in art college, Brian Jones carried on like a moonshine-abetted hoochie-coochie man despite his flaxen hair, milky complexion, and generally angelic visage. Brian was already the father of two illegitimate children. He was such a character at the Ealing, exuding natural musical ability, that he'd been invited to sit in regularly with Blues Incorporated, something Mick and Keith, in their wool sweaters and corduroy blazers, could only fantasize about at the time. Occasionally, they would be asked up to fill in with a song or two while Korner and Davies took five, but Jones was a made guy. Both boys considered Brian a hero, his gift, attitude, and style something to envy and aspire to."
