Why would I want to learn all the notes of my fretboard? Over my 25+ year career as a musician and guitar teacher, I have come across many guitarists who cannot name all the frets on the fretboard.

It is, in short, "Mozart" - and there is no greater compliment than that.

And with a techno-color fashion sense, he certainly stood out from the pack. Only one problem, Tommy had a death-defying drug addiction, which ultimately would lead to a premature and tragic end - before he was able to truly take his standing among the elite musicians of the world.

But they went on to invent The Wildest, the most exciting and successful lounge act Las Vegas has ever seen, an act that became one of the hottest in the U.S. in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

In 1988, a new cultural youth movement, known as Acid House, swept across the UK. Was it born out of the disaffection of Thatcher’s Britain? Was it down to the new musical styles emerging from Detroit and Chicago? Or was it just all about The Drugs? Whatever it was, everyone wanted in on it, and before long, it felt like an entire generation was raving in a field with their hands in the air, dreaming of a Promised Land where we would all be Free. Kate Magic was a teenager in those early heady days of acid house, and once the initial euphoric rush had subsided, and everyone had gone back to ...
