Episode Synopsis

Jon Park-Wheeler was born in Ottawa, Ontario at some point in the previous millennium, and declines to be more specific on the topic. Carbon-14 dating performed on mustache clippings, however, reveals his date of birth to be sometime after the Roaring Twenties, and sometime before the advent of Gangsta Rap.He cannot remember a time in his life when he did not play music. (This means that either he has been playing forever, or has a faulty memory. We choose to endorse the former, without ruling out the latter entirely.) Like most children of his era, he was dragged kicking and screaming to piano lessons when he was barely out of diapers, and in spite of himself acquired the rudiments of music.Jon was drawn to the guitar when the Beatles led the British Invasion of music into North America, and has been working at playing the instrument for the last 40 years (Drat! That kind of blows the whole mystery-of-paragraph-one thing!).
