Practiced on my first piano at the age of six, and as a senior, still playing the keybosrd
After my studies of piano for six months, I switched to
accordion, and studied under Lanny Fuller. I reached my Peak with Lanny, and I then went to a Boston Studio and studied under
the Master Lou Brogiolie at Tosi Music Co. until graduation of high school. During my childhood years and up to my induction
in the Army, I had played music in many local talent shows. I remember the old Rialto in Roslindale Square. Although I
came in second, a singer came in first, I was awarded a twenty five dollar savings bond. I was as proud of me as my Mom and
Dad were. I played in many field day programs, remember them?, and of course, In my high school plays, and musicials. I got
spots in musical programs on the Major T.V. channels 4 5 and 7. No uhf back then.
While in the service and after:::::
During my 11 days crossing in
a troop ship to Germany, I of course, found two other men that played a violin, and drums. We played for the Officers mess
and had our own room on the ship, to practice, and be by ourselves. Real luck, when you consider the hundreds of men packed
together like sardines. I Played on the return trip too. Took up electronic repair in Germany and played at a few Beer
Halls. What else? Got to love german music and also got to travel throughout Germany and Holland where I saw tremendous German
shows that Most Americans will never see. After returning to Boston I continued Electronics school, and Taught music. My main
instrument was Accordion. A few years back, I switched to electronic keyboard, and realized I had found my Instrument. I would
like to share that knowledge of the past years with you. Oh yes, I have written many songs and am trying to get them published.
I would also like to see you be a success in music, and I know how to teach you and tell you how. It really can make your
life much more easy and also help you in typing, and many coordinated projects.
My first teacher, Lanny fuller.
