About 60 years, I started around 1951 pre-high school

Not the first one, but I was a member of the band that backed Chuck Berry at the Santa Monica Municipal Auditorium in the late 60's. I never attended concerts as a spectator. I always played a part in the show. The memorable thing about that concert was the awsome reception that Chuck received at the show. He was phemomal to work with and his performance was out standing.

Main instrument used in electronic music production is a Roland G808 controller. For my live performances I use a Casio MG510 Synth Guitar and Roland MC80 Sequencer along with Beringer PM1000 mixer and two Optimus Pro Series monitors.

Les Paul and Mary Ford. The guitar sound and Les' way of soloing and backing up Mary Ford impressed me. When I heard "The World Is Waitinbg For The Sunrise" for the first time it became the basis of my musical ideas. Later Jimmy Smith (guitarist), George Van Epps, Barney Kessel, Oscar Moore (Guitarist with the King Cole Trio, Aaron "TBone" Walker (blues influence) Pete Lewis (guitar with Johnny Otis band 1949-60.

Happier Times by Arthur G. Wright. I first wrote and recorded it in 2006. It contains the type of music that I like and it is relaxing to me. Especially the songs "Happier Times" and "Cherokee"
