Born on May 11th 1959 in Greenwich Ct. to Clifford and Lily Wildey, the fourth of seven children, I received my first instrument at age 6, an empty Charles Chips tin. Mom and Dad surprised me on my 7th birthday with a real drum, a snare with an attached cymbal. This gift also included 2 free drum lessons at the local music store, I was off and running. I played drums through out my youth and into high school. Several bands later a friend of mine needed a rhythm guitar player to jam with so I picked up the acoustic guitar. The year was 1976. I was intrigued by the guitar and its ability to create melody AND rhythm.
