Band Story
Music has always been part of my life. My father sang and played the banjo, guitar, piano and accordion. When we were young, my sister Kathy and I would do duets with him in the taverns where he played and sang with his friends.
My mother gave us the gift of piano lessons starting when I was seven or so. When I was eleven or twelve, my cousin Patsy taught me the guitar. Her favorite song was "Springtime in the Rockies." My father continued teaching me the guitar, encouraging me "put the song over!" For my grammar school graduation my parents gave me a new Gibson acoustic that I still play today.
When I got older I played and sang at early folk masses in Catholic churches. Then I became a hippie, my best me,and sang at coffeehouses and around campfires at music festivals, including Woodstock (the best time of my life!)
After a 25 year career in business, I am now back to my "real self" and am a seriously aspiring singer/songwriter. I'm learning all I can and hope to be a success at it --- soon. I have 18 songs done, and am writing more music that will touch people's hearts and maybe help change the world.
Peace.
