What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? My older brother Allan played a bit of acoustic guitar, mostly folk music. Around the age of twelve, I got interested in pop music and found his guitar in the closet. It only had three strings on it but he saw I was interested so he went out and got some new strings, a chord book and a capo. That was pretty much it- I played constantly and learned all I could from books and watching guitarists on TV.
