My Aunt Played The Piano And I

I Always Wanted A Guitar. I Always Wanted To Be A Cowboy Singer Because I Also Listened To Hank Williams, And He Would Always Sing These Neat Romantic Songs.

My Uncle Gave Me A Trumpet, But I Loved The Louis Armstrong Sound And The Harry James Sound And I Played By Ear And I Played Always Soulful Or Very Direct From The Gut.

I Don't Claim To Be A Musician, I Didn't Go To Julliard.

I Met Leo Fender, Who Is The Guru Of All Amplifiers, And He Gave Me A Stratocaster. He Became A Second Father To Me.

People Just Loved The Sound Because I Kept It Simple.
