Guitar Package Guru

Growing up in Queens which is a Borough in New York in the 50′s nd 60′s I was like every other boy in the neighborhood, playing stick-ball, softball, basketball, handball just to name a few activitie. I entered my teens around the time of the British invasion, thus being a big fan of The Beatles (as you can tell if you follow my blogs).

This was probably about the best time in Rock and Roll as the influence of The Beatles branched out to many other bands or the time and it was like an electic guitar war, and it really expanded the horizons of rock that made it what it is today. In Junior High School at the time my friends, my brother and I decided to form a band, but first we had to learn how to play. Each of us took an instrument, mine was the electric bass guitar. I took lessons and bought my first bass guitar and bass amplifier with money I made from my paper route, I had to purchase everything separately since there were no bass guitar packages back then.

Within a few years we started our band and had a decent sound. From there I went on to be in several bands one of which was a group of us from the dance band in school, it was a 9 piece band with a terrific sound.

I am now 57 years old soon to be 58, I no longer play any of the sports from my childhood but I still can play bass. As a parent I now pass this along to children, no matter what you do if you learn an instrument you will take that skill with you for life.
