I loved music at a very early age (4) and used to play a windup phonograph at my Aunts for hours. Started ear playing on a player piano my folks had. Found a book on chords for piano
at a downtown store and in a short time was playing songs from
memory. In high school I belonged to a small group of players
who got together once a week in the auditorium.
From these players, I Joined a small group and we played weddings and dances. Also listened much of the time to Big Bands and paid attention to how they worked together.
After visiting a Rollar Skating Ring I was fascinated by the
organ and bought many records of Organists to study.
Finally bought an organ and began to learn how to play it including pedals. Had many organs including Lowrey, Hammond,Wersi.
After hearing keyboards I bought one and have played Yamaha,Korg,Roland. Now have a Tyros 5-76 and keep in contact
with many who enjoy the same hobby. Music has been a major
source of enjoyment and even now as I am 84 years Young ! Lloyd
