The money from my paper route financed my first musical equipment acquisitions and they continue to make me a happy guy today. Thanks Dave . The gentleman that you see playing the black Danelectro guitar is Pete Heinz . He was the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and resident sex symbol of the band. He was the owner of the very first VOX Super Beatle amplifier that I'd ever seen as well.
Some guys just know how to live.
Kenny Prebble was a terrific lead guitarist and showman. Kenny was later killed in a plane crash but remains in my thoughts and musical memories today. I broke my leg skiing at Mt Tom during my freshman year at Northampton High School. I borrowed a set of drum sticks and would play on my cast all the time. Initially I borrowed a set of drums from a guy named Jim Derose and learned to play in my basement.
