He played in clubs for over 50 years. He bought this baby grand piano before I was born, and I grew up hearing him play on it my whole life. He shocked me about 7 years ago when he gave it to me for my birthday! When I was 6 years old I started taking piano lessons, and took them for about 4 years until I decided I wanted to play this.... The flute, not the tiki! :) I played in school bands (yes, I was a band geek) from elementary school, junior high, and high school. In my senior year I decided I wanted to play the tenor saxaphone. I taught myself how to play over Christmas vacation, and joined the Jazz band when the next semester started. After high school I dabbled with guitar for a little bit, and played that Strat and Rickenbacher Bass of Buzzy's. Or maybe faked my way through it because I never had real lesson's, but was taught the song's that the band played. (I think they probably just wanted a chick in the band so it didn't matter if I didn't know what I was doing. :) ) Then about 8 years ago I joined a concert band out of Carlsbad, and played the flute with them for 7 years until last year when I had to take some time off. (My practice nights ended up being the same night as my son's baseball, and couldn't be two places at once.) When my son was 3 he wanted to play drums so I got him this starter kit... He just played around with them really, and a year later got an electric guitar for Christmas. I never pushed anything, but always said when he wanted to take lessons to let me know. So a little over a year ago he came to me begging to take lessons, and I signed him up and had his first lesson that night. He's been playing ever since. Here's our collection of guitars... We have a great time all playing together, and just recently my dad got this killer Kawai electric piano... This piano has every bell and whistle you can imagine. Even has a 16 track cd burner built right in. So that's some of the stuff I have! Oh yeah, and I'll admit it, I'm my son's roadie too so don't feel bad Cammo. :) Zaya
