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.
