Musical Career
George started playing music when he was 14. He was inspired at a young age to play music, specifically bass guitar, when he discovered The Beatles, and more specifically Paul McCartney. He was taught how to play bass guitar at that age, and decided, once he was comfortable enough, to try to start a band. He played bass in several bands until the age of 21, when he decided to teach himself how to play drums. He switched back and forth between bass guitar and drums for a few years, depending on the band he was in. He spent the first several years (1980–1984) playing in cover bands, playing backyard parties, school talent shows, and events of this nature.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or career:
“Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world. That expression can take many forms, from artistic interests, a way of thinking, athletic activities, a particular style of dressing, musical talents, different hobbies, etc. Our job is to join our children in discovering who they are.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
