No, I was born in Uruguay, South America. My family came originally from Italy from a little mountain town that I had the pleasure to know, where life and values are so much different. My great-grandfather was a fine tailor. I went to school like any other kid, but had an interest in music since I was very little. My parents divorced when I was very little, and they are music fans, so I probably got it from them. My dad plays guitar and he gave me a clue on how to play the basics. Oh man, how my fingers hurt! You know when you first start your fingers hurt really bad, but then that goes away. I didn't even have real strings when I first started. It was fishing strings. My mom doesn't play guitar, but she is a great philosophy teacher, now she is really a painter, but she always has Plato and Homer and things like that on her mind. And that robbed off on me, and every time I talk to her I learn something different. I was also a swimmer, a real one. And I would go to competitions and such, won a couple of medals. But I didn't like to compete against others. I guess I'm still the same way, so I dropped swimming very early on. When I discovered Roy Orbison, I really wanted to learn how to play guitar and sing. By the time I was learning how to play, Roy Orbison died, although I didn't know it, and he was really big again with the Traveling Wilburys and his Mystery Girl LP. So I got really into his music for some mysterious reason, and it became such a big part of my life. And still is today after all these years. And then I heard he was gone and it was such a shock, and that threw me even more into his life and career so I started researching and learning about him. I still think he taught me how to sing by me listening to him. And he made it look so easy. He would barely open his mouth to hit those high notes! An average singing teacher would beat you up you for doing that! That's why I never went to one. And, I decided that I wanted to form a band, so I did. I was 13 years old. At about the same time I had written a little suspense thing about a guy named Truly Lover. A strange character what walked at night. But he was riding high, like some kind of Knight or super hero. It was a nice little piece, I wish I could find it. So, all my friends liked it so much they started calling me that and while the band was starting up, you guessed it, it was the Truly Lover Band. What else could it be? Nothing else. I got my first electric guitar, no brand or anything, but it worked. And I played it thru a radio first because I didn't have an amp either. We were just a bunch of kids, neighborhood friends mainly. The drummer didn't have a drum set so we had to borrow one each time we wanted to practice. And the bass player didn't know how to play the bass so I had to teach him. We were two guitars, and I didn't play the lead until later when I realized
