Paul's Story

Life Well not much to tell. I went to three different schools and a private school for 5 years. When I came home from Pennsylvania in 1973 I immediately got into the working world. from '73 until 1994 I was into the electronics world. Then things got slow so I started driving taxis in Nashua, NH. And what started out to be supplimental job, turned into a 9 year career, if you can call it that. I moved to NH in the spring of 1990 and I never looked back. I have been married twice and I still say never again. I now live in Manchester, NH with my current significant other. Also, when I got back from Pennsylvania in 1973 I discovered the music world. I was already playing the guitar for ten years when friends started asking me to join their bands. Mostly rock then. Six years later I got into country music, all fassets of it. So I decided to explore other instruments that I enjoyed hearing. The first was the "fiddle". That started sometime in September of '79. Then five years later I took up the pedal steel guitar, which was unheard of around the Boston area at that time. I played the steel up until 1992 when my 1st wife forbade me to ever gig again. So like a fool I sold the instruments, per HER order, and vowed to give up music. What a joke that was, for not only did she leave, she took(or tried to)keep my most personal belongings. Hah, fat chance. Second wife was supportive but she got tired of it after a while. Then she just didn't want...Expand for more
me anymore so I moved from Nashua, NH to Manchester, NH and the rest is history. I am now gigging with anybody I can to try and keep my chops up. I am currently employed at Goffstown Area High School as a 1st shift custodian. I am enjoying this work very much, because it makes me feel useful and wanted at age 52. But now, unfortunately, I don't have this job anymore, due to circumstances beyond my control. It's a good thing I have my music to fall back on whenever the money is short. And the money is short more times than not. I have been out of work since December 21st, and am still looking for something in the electronics field, where I began my working career. Hopefully, I will get some kind of a break in the music field. I have been to Tennesee twice in my lifetime, and let me tell you that it's not all it's cracked up to be. You literally have to starve down there to get anywhere. I've tried a few times to get down there to live, but I miss New England living too much. Someday when the time is right and I'm old and gray. I have made a lot of new friends over the years, and I cherish every one of them. Some good and some not so good, but aquaintences nevertheless. I would like to connect with other friends or people from my past. Even the mean ones, it doesn't matter. I'd like to think that over the years we all have matured to the point of adulthood that we can look back on all that's happened and really have a good laugh over it.
