Wow, my first time on stage was not until I was 18 years old, 1958, in Barcelona, Spain, playing a 6 string guitar with a 50-watt tube amp. That amp exploded on night when one of the guys forgot to plug into the power adapter that allowed us to use their 220-volt circuit. Today, that could not happen because all the plugs are differently configured to prevent that from taking place.

My first arranger keyboard was nut until 1982. It was made my the same company that made our microwave oven back then, I believe it was Samsung. It had just 6 voices and 12 styles, but to me it was a big turning point from which I never looked back.

All the best,

Gary
