I was born in Merchantville, New Jersey and spent most of my early years in southern New Jersey before starting a career (23yrs) in the Air Force.

We had an old piano and mother wanted me to take lessons. I took about three but found that practicing scales was not as much fun as chasing girls. Wish today I had learned those scales and the proper fingering.

It appears that the interest in music starts at an early age and is inspired by many different things, including crystal sets Sure enjoy reading these posts from members of my musical family.
