    When I was about 16 years old I began recording some of the music I was learning how to play. I can still remember the scoldings I got too. Whether it was a blues instrumental I wrote or a cover song, I caught hell for it. And my folks weren't even really all that active in the org most of the time that I was in high school. Invariably the overlords would hear about me doing SOMETHING musically and here we go again. I performed at a Guitar Concert at the school's Performing Arts Center in my senior year. My friend Bill, a girl named Denise, and I did a Neil Young song. Me playing with WORLDLY kids a Neil Young song...God FORBID!

    I really wish like hell that my folks NEVER heard of the stupid wt. My life would have been much happier I think.

    Here is one of the first things I recorded. I believe it was in 1978 when I was about 16.

    Why not record something now ? as a 50 year old that voice has probably just matured, so why not give it a go ?

    Want a Manager ?

    Phizzy! I am working on it. My son and an old bandmate have taken steps to get new things recorded. I dunno if we'll need a manager, but you bring up an excellent point....Are you offering?

    Hot Flash---I had such a crush on Frampton as a teen. I listened to this song millions of times. And here you were covering the song in 1978!

    Very nice!

    Did you ever know HillaryStep? He was popular on this forum about 10 years ago, an exJW musician. Evidently fairly successful.

    I think he might be about your age.

    Very nice TOTH! A relative of mine left the org. and in his 50's now does his own music, plays guitar, sings, writes music, plays in clubs and sells CDs. It's not too late!
