Artist History Ed’s musical career began with three years of accordion lessons. While not the normal instrument for a promising rock ‘n’ roll career, Ed took it all in stride and used the experience in a positive way. Ed started out playing rock ‘n’ roll on the bass guitar. To this day, it is the instrument he prefers to perform live with. Ed picked up the 6 string while serving in the Air Force. This is also where he began his recording career. Using 2 stereo tape decks and a Radio Shack mixer, he began writing music and recording it using the “Ping Pong” method. He has since graduated from a cassette format 4-track to an ADAT format 8-track.
