CHICAGO 'N BEYOND

MELVIN TAYLOR

MELVIN TAYLOR

What was the first guitar you ever owned and what was the best thing you recall about it? My very first guitar was given to me by my teacher, Father Duffacy at Saint Francis Cabrini.  I was 13. It was a white Kingston and he also gave me an amplifier.
