Music from a Garage

60

By Froggy213

There are many musicians that started out playing in garages.

They have to start somewhere.

Some make it big and some don't.

This hub is being made those guys and gals who spent many hours practicing in their garages.

I will share videos and pictures.

Many a parent heard," Dad, can you leave the car out? We're having practice tonight."

Scroll down and check out the Garage scene.

The earliest photo of The Churchkeys, certifying that they were indeed a "Garage Band". The guy on the left was shortlived in the group.

Thanks for answering the request. Your Hub is more than informative- it is entertaining. Past-time tunes, the vintage clothes, and (of course) the tribute to perserverence. A lot of hard work in a garage paid off! I also like your ending line. Great Job
