After playing bass guitar in various groups in his teens he was forced to give up music when it threatened his job away from the music field. He left music for more than 30 years.
His children never knew of his music playing past, as he had gotten rid of his bass and bass amplifier. one day his daughter Michelle expressed an interest in learning to play bass not knowing his past. He bought her a new blue bass guitar and a new bass amplifier. While she was getting acquainted with her new instruments she had asked him to play something. He put on a cd by Chicago and the song “Make Me Smile” . She couldn’t believe her ears as it sounded as good as the recording.
From that day on they shared the experience of playing together whenever she said to him come on dad make me smile.
