The first musical instrument I mastered was the record player.  I found one in a cabinet in my parent's living room.  I did the usual; played 33’s on 45 and 45’s on 78.

Years of records turned into 8 tracks and then cassettes.

This led to me making cassette tapes with 2 turntables and a mixing board.  

While all this was going on I tried my hand at learning the guitar.  

After a whole lot of years, I learned that I’ll never be a musician so I picked up the bass.  After 3 years of playing in the bedroom, I received a call from a small rock and roll outfit in need of a bass player.  So, after 7 years in bands, I’m still standing behind the real musicians laying down the back end with the drummer.
