Ed tells his story:
I was born 1956 in Portland Maine. I have 4 older sisters who had a big love of music. They played it loud! I grew up dreaming and playing air guitar until early 70s when friends had a band and no one would sing. I was just a spectator; I don’t know how it happened, I started singing, then learned to play some guitar to practice singing. I'm self-taught guitar and have been playing for 45 years. I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on my 17th birthday and served 6 years. Then at BIW I worked as a machinist 3 years, then 25 years with New England Telephone. I'm now pursuing music. I'm married 38 years to the love of my life and we have 3 children.
