Started playing in bands in 1970 after singing with my sisters in local talent contests. First instrument was the ukelele then my parents bought me a guitar when I was 10 yrs.old. Taught myself to play the keyboards back in 1972. I would like to thank my mother for getting me interested in music and showing me and my sisters how to harmonize together and my father for hauling us around because we were all too young to drive. The rest my friends is history, see you all soon, George.
