Bob Dammer: Guitar Maker



I began a love affair with music at the age of ten. I started by taking band lessons on the drums. After a few years… two things happened that changed my musical direction.
First I got really tired of playing waltz music on the bass drum, and then came Rock and Roll.
From the first time I heard Buddy Holly ,the Everly Brothers and later the Beatles, I knew I was going to play the guitar.





I got my first guitar; a Sears arch top, from my Uncle Ernie when I was thirteen.
I got a book on chords and learned from friends.

I have been playing since then and have gone through many guitars and influences from Led Zeppelin to Andres Segovia and everything in between. At age 52 I started classical guitar lessons.
