When I was 6, I began my first music lessons... on the clarinet, the first instrument I learned to play. It was about that time I saw Ronnie (Dio) and The Prohpets quite a bit as a little kid because they were family friends. When I was a little older I hung out with Keith Gruber (guitar), and saw quite a bit of his older brother Craig when he hooked up with Ronnie and Mickey Lee during The Electric Elves transition to Elf. I remember seeing them at the Cortland County Fairgrounds, about a block from my house, and them watching us play sandlot baseball behind Gruber's parents house.
