Hi Sonny,

In the late 1940s, I knew of no such things as student loans.  With a little 
help from my parents, I entered college and then used the simple musical 
skills I learned in our high school band to work my way into the local 
college dance band and a smaller group that played Saturday nights in a 
night spot.  The earnings weren't great, but they enabled me to get through 
four years and finish with an engineering degree.

I concluded that, though I enjoyed the music business, I would pursue 
engineering as a career to make a living.
