About Tony Collopy
Well I mention being Kelley Hankins little brother. She was my first guitar teacher. Hopefully she’d like that I’ve started playing some different shit.
I’ve had great lessons from many guitarists, just never formally. I was in the Navy for 9 years and went on two deployments on destroyers out of Pearl Harbor. Computers were only 386s at the time, so smart phones weren’t a thing. I was fortunate to have my guitar and amp onboard and so did other guys. There were 4 other really good guitar players (out of 350 people onboard). I was able to play up to 6-8 hours a day during deployments. And get great lessons by learning from those other guitar players. I wanted to have fun during practice. Like a bard.
This channel is really about one thing; so my daughters can see what Dad can play when applying himself. They know I play; I’ve always ‘played’ guitar, just not focused like before.
Until the pandemic. Moi!
Thank you for listening. I’m very grateful.
