This is a vintage picture of me backstage at a talent show when I was in the 6th grade. This was in the same school that I played at the dance in when I was 7. I won the talent show with a medley of my favorite Beatles songs. Yes the Beatles! My brother Mike loved them and I knew every song in the Beatles 1 & 2 books. The guitar I am playing in the picture is my 1st real good guitar. My brother bought me this Ibanez Les Paul when I was 9 years old. I still have this collectors item, you can see it in my gear page. It is a beauty!
