(May, 2003) I started taking accordion lessons when I was about 10 on an old accordion my Dad had. I started playing weddings, picnics, parties when I was about 15. When I was 18, a bass player I met faked my birth certificate and I went on the road with accordion, bass and guitar. After I got out of the Marine Corp, I went on the road with a country western band of accordion, bass, steel and rhythm guitar. The highlight of that band was we worked on radio and television on WLW, Midwestern Hayride in Cinncinatti, Ohio. Eventually, I played out my career working around Chicago playing dance music in all the hotels, country clubs, yacht clubs, etc. with a 5-man group of accordion, vibes, clarinet, bass and drums.
I retired from the business and accidentally learned about arranger keyboards and bought a 740, which is what I used on these songs. I have thoroughly enjoyed being involved in the Yamaha groups and look forward to the musical years ahead.
