Larry Curtis (LC)
has been playing music since he was 7 years old. His musical training
began with the accordian, but after a year of lessons he decided to pick
up the guitar because The Beatles had invaded the USA and he began to
re-think his musical persuits. He took note of the fact that you didn't
see any girls screaming and crying over accordian players...plus Rock
n Roll is not necessarily a style of music which goes very good on the
accordian. He continued his accordian lessons, however, but began to learn
how to play the guitar on his dad's 1963 Gibson flattop acoustic (which
he still possesses and plays today). As time passed he began to play the
accordian less and the guitar more, learning how to play popular songs
from the radio as well as from his Beatles records.
He played in a number
of bands throughout his teen years, however he opted for a career in flying
helicopters instead of becoming a professional musician. He never lost
his passion for playing good Rock n Roll music and today he makes music
in his home utilizing his PC with a variety of sound applications. His
early accordian training has been instrumental over the years as he has
also developed on keyboards as well as the guitar. He began making recordings
on his PC in 2001 and learned how to mix the sound waves to form his own
digital band. He has also learned MIDI sequencing using his electronic
keyboard to build backing tracks.
He has made several
recordings, most of them old Beatles songs (go figure that one), but has
also compiled a collection of other classic Rock n Roll tunes. His most
recent compilation is called "Composite Wings" where
he has also included 6 of his own original compositions. Below is the
CD artwork (which he also did) and some download links for the songs on
this CD. Hope you enjoy it! It's not professional quality by any stretch
of the imagination, but it doesn't sound too bad considering the equipment
which was used.
