One of the great things about Coronado California was the music scene during the 50's 60's, 70's and on. Great musicians developed through the Coronado school music programs, through private lessons, or learning to play by ear and jamming with friends.
Some really great talents developed at an early age. We were all aspiring to grow our talents, develop our skills and experiment with new sounds that we heard on the radio, or someone found in the record bin at Perkins Book Worm.
There was nothing better then getting a new record and working on how to play it, or catching one of the other bands in Coronado at a party or function that already had figured it out, and was playing it.
There was at times a bit of competitiveness between players and bands, but it was more a sense of community of musicians, learning, growing, playing and having fun. A comradely between the bands, as bands were formed and evolved over time. Many friendships from these bands have been a life long relationship.
