| Introduction | In 1964, it was the Beatles and Peter, Paul and Mary that started it. No one in the family confessed to any musical talent, so it was with some trepidation that my dad, an Infantry Officer, invested the outrageous sum of $14.95, in a Silvertone guitar that I was going to “maybe” learn how to play. He always called it a “gee-tar”, and no matter what, he and my mom were always unfailing in their support of my endeavors. I had always enjoyed music and “musicals” of the time (The Music Man, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music), but it was not until Dan Nix showed me an “E,A and B7”, that I realized that music was available to me too! It was love at first strum. Those three chords were a concerto to my ears, ‘cause it was me and my guitar playing them. |
