The Early Years	Rehearsing in my sister's basement with my first band. 15 years old.   In front of my girl friend's house in San Pedro. Teenage love ending in heartbreak, but the dog stayed with me.
	This picture was taken in my Twister years; probably at the Starwood in Hollywood. This was the first time I ever signed an autograph.   I have no idea where this was taken or when. Playing for a friend's wedding with Brian Asher and Shelly Abrams. About '85 The very beginings of the Chuck Alvarez Band. 1990. Keith McCaw, Yours Truly, John Abrams (not even a musician), and Danny Dehart.
