I asked my dad for a set of drums for my tenth birthday but he came home with a Sears Silvertone guitar ... I had wanted a set of drums, but my folks couldn't afford them, so I got the guitar.
I didn't know how to tune the guitar ;.
as it was when it came, that's how I thought it was supposed to be ... So for about nine months I learned funny little melodies with my guitar tuned out.
Finally, my brother Dave said " Here, let me show you how to tune this thing properly.
" I said, " Well, O. K., but I gotta learn all over again.
" I was disappointed ... My oldest brother Dave, showed me some chords ... But if I were to pinpoint one turning point ... when I was in sixth or seventh grade, I met a man named Nick who worked an electronics store in California, where my family lived for awhile.
One day, Nick took me to a music store loaded with all these great guitars the British groups were using and he asked me " Which one is your favorite?
" I pointed out a 1962 Stratocaster and he bought it for me.
He got me my first professional gig at Artesia Hall — just me and my guitar and amp ... I paid him back by sweeping driveways and working in the electronics store.
I had that guitar for quite a while and put a lot of time and effort into playing it.
