This is the Sears Silvertone acoustic guitar I got for Christmas in 1965. At 10 years old I was
instantly addicted to guitar playing.
Little did my parents know that this gift would change the course of my life.
THANKS MOM!
THANKS DAD!

As my hair and I grew, I played
at various Junior High School
dances, cookouts, The Mystic
Knights Club, and this Saint
Francis church dance, where
my band was thrown out for
singing one of my songs
entitled
"The F---- You Blues."

I idolized Eric Clapton, BB King, Edgar & Johnny Winter, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers,
James Taylor, and many others but most of all THE BEATLES.
I hacked around in lots of bands that rehearsed and jammed in cellars all over Medford, Mass. We
played in at dances, cookouts, rinks, parties and anywhere else we could find. I spent hundreds of
hours in my bedroom, just me and my Gretsch Guitar and the record player. Music meant
everything to me when I was a kid. That never really changed. The music we listened to was
changing every day.

Fresh out of high school , I joined a band called BLUE FOX. We travelled all over the US and Canada in a school
bus. This band had a horn section, a 5 piece rhythm section, and a sound and light man. We also had a
semi-mafioso manager who would send us anywhere at all to play.
This band was insane. I remember this as the craziest, most carefree days of my life. We went a lot of places,
learned a lot of lessons, and came home broke every time. But MAN we had FUN! I could tell you road stories for
DAYS about these guys.

After BLUE FOX ended, I joined a soul band called THE LORDS. I learned a lot from these guys,
and we travelled in a bus too, all over the country, and we played in Canada and Nova Scotia
quite a bit. With ten pieces, the fancy suits, and all that choreography, this was a true "Show
Band."

NIGHT PEOPLE Was a hard
working band with some
true characters in it.
We worked mostly in
Connecticut, Vermont, New
Hampshire, and hardly ever
near our home base of
Boston. We worked 5-6
nights per week for a 2 year
period. We did a LOT of gigs.
Of course I bought yet
another school bus to travel
around in.

Fast Forward was the quintessential 80's band. We were very popular in the Cape Cod area, and on the south shore. I have many fond
memories of this group of skilled musicians. i was very proud just to play with these guys.

Mike Bianco played guitar for Blue Fox and
went on to develop a completely unique
approach to playing guitar by tapping on
two guitars at the same time!
