In the group pic, I'm over on the right. I was twelve and in my first band, The Beacons (also pictured--Richie on bass and John on drums; couldn't get Georgie way over on the left in the frame). We played Rascals, Wilson Picket, James Brown and other R&B tunes. We had a few Beatles songs on the set list, too. I haven't been 12 for a long time, but have not let 12 get away. I have built on it, and I love playing now as much as I did then. These days, I have been recording more, and I still love to play in bands, and there have been many over the years.
