I fell in love with music when I was old enough to operate my dads massive stereo equipment. I was maybe 4 and would listen to his records with headphones for hours on end. I would rather do that than watch TV in those days. My Dad had all kinds of music in the day other than Rock and Roll. When my older brother brought home Cosmos Factory by Creedence Clear Water Revival and Guess Who's American Woman Albums I was hopelessly hooked and would immediately focus on the drums and rhythm section. I asked for a drum set every year for Christmas to the point my parents finally quit asking what I wanted because the answer was always the same. They finally excepted my request to co sign a loan for a Ludwig Quadra Plus kit when I graduated from High school (79) so I could have my own kit rather than a borrowed kit from a friend that no longer was interested in playing drums. I played in bands 5 nights a week on night club circuits for 5 years or so I stopped for 15 years to finish school, marry and have a family but my loving wife pushed me to buy another kit and start playing again and I haven't stopped the love affair with drums since.
