My Inspiration for Music Part 1

I have to credit my parents for my lifelong pursuit of music. I started taking guitar lessons when I was 12, along with my best friend Tim Gillis. Tim's mom and mine would take turns making the weekly shuffle to the YWCA of off Franklin st. in Worcester, pronounced either "Wister" or "Woostuh". I still remember the instructor's name, Rick Feeley. I just tried to google him, but no luck except there is a band called "Bread and Wine" that released a cd 3 yrs. ago. Rick is credited as the bass player, which I'm certain was his main instrument. The cd is available through "CD Baby". I remember when my dad bought me a copy of Hendrix's "Smash Hits". He said in his best "endearing Dad" voice, he's one of the best ever,probably should listen to 'em if you're serious 'bout this guitar playin'. After a year or so we found that our local music sote "Robinson Music" started offering guitar lessons, the instructors name was Joe Brindisi.
