Seeker of Rock
Let’s Go Brandon!
I wish I had more access to pics on my phone but still refuse to buy more cloud space, but I’ll start…
My dad was a guitar and trumpet player and learned by ear. Never read a lick of music and BS’d his way by fake reading sheet music until college. Got a Harmony Stratatone and played in a band. Give it to my cousin when I was 10 and had a Yamaha something (YG 75? he never played. Stratatone came back with a cheap amp (probably worth $$$ today) and some electrical probs and I never learned to play…But there was this band down the street (suburban Cincinnati on the Kentucky side) that would rehearse in the lower bi-level house garage called Flesh N Bones. Young and did ‘60s tunes mostly for weddings. That’s what really pulled me into music, seeing it live. Then the KISS era circa ‘78, air guitar rock star ‘82, then learned the power chord and iron man and later a friend showed me scales and some lead licks. Then I got obsessed and got good enough to put together a real band and found good people to play with in HS. I’ll start with that.
