The younger of the two girls, who could not have been old enough to even be in school yet, began to dance so very gracefully in front of me as I played, that I found it difficult to concentrate on what I was doing. Each of the two families had a young daughter with them but neither knew the other. One of the most memorable was when two families happened by, where I was offering a musical saw melody while playing on the street. I've had many memorable and magical audiences. The largest audience that I've had was at The Oregon Country Fair's Midnight Show. I've performed before thousands of listeners and for as few as one. I finally got a guitar ten years later, as a gift from a friend that I was working for, Ten years of desire, never quenched, is a long time to wait but when I finally got my hands on one, I was ready. I was never sure why but George would never allow me to play his guitar. Our family went through some tough times. My dad worked very hard at a factory job but couldn't make the money stretch. All the while I quietly yearned to do the same but when I asked for a guitar, the funds weren't available.
I watched George begin to put together a band with neighborhood friends and start writing songs. Then, The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and after some pleading, my dad bought George a brand new Harmony Strat-O-Tone and a matching practice amp.He traded accordion lessons for guitar lessons. Back in the early 60s the instrument George started playing was an accordion, no doubt influenced by Lawrence Welk. But they provided my older brother George, the oldest of us, with music lessons. With six children living in a small apartment on the south side of Chicago, my family didn't have a lot of extra money. But he is actually responsible for my desire to play music. I have an old photo of him playing an archtop guitar with his sister. If I could play music with anyone, it would be my dad. Francis - HOLD UP!
