Tunes

Klaus started with piano lessons at an early age. That was great musical training, but he really wanted to play guitar. After being fired by his piano teacher for lack of dedication and practice, he learned to play guitar. He played rockabilly and country guitar in several bands as a teenager. He played guitar in a jazz band while in the Navy, stationed in Philadelphia. After discharge he played guitar and bass in several rock ‘n roll bands in the Washington, DC area. He always loved bluegrass, so he learned to play banjo and played in bluegrass bands, also in the DC area. Klaus is now back to playing guitar in this band.
