My love of music began with seeds from my parents' music collection - most notably, Marty Robbins, Bill Haley and the Comets and Elvis and then grew into an eclectic array of musical interests. Attempts to play music led to cutting a piano album (along with 100 other students and 50 pianos - playing in unison) as well as being requested to step out of the 5th grade choir (tone deaf) and play accompaniment instead of singing along.
