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.
