In 1952
Larry saw Frank Ifield in a music shop Casino, and he had
a big yellow guitar with 'f' holes in it. This was before
Frank's "I Remember You." Larry is the eldest
of 12 children and grew up on a dairy farm. The only radio
station they could get was 2LM, and quite a few relatives
played instruments, so I guess Larry was born a lover of
music
Larry has a wide range of music that he
plays on his Pedal Steel Guitar and this ranges from Country
to Mozart. Currently Larry is playing Memories, Overhead
the Moon is Beaming and Mozart Piano 21etc.
Larry says and I quote: "I guess this
instrument is a beast, but it sure sounds good to me and
at 60yrs old, I'm not going to make it as one of the world
greats, but who knows, perhaps some great player will one
day continue what I've started." unquote.
Larry would also like us to know that he
entered a Talent Search at Scottie's Convention in the U.S.A.
The Talent Search was held on the Thursday night on the
main stage.
Larry has made some CDs and is selling
them from his Website www.wheylite.com.au
then to flag, then 'other products'.
NOTICE:
Larry has, up to date, written The Steel
Guitar Addicts Magazine which he put a lot of work into
and posted it out approximately Bi-Monthly. Larry has now
found that he can no longer put the magazine out, and it
was after much deliberation that he decided to quit. On
behalf of the Brisbane Steel Guitar Club I would like to
say a big thank to you Larry for all the work you put into
the Magazine, with it's Tabs, Steel Guitar information
and articles and also Club Notices.
