Given a guitar at 8 years old but his step father didn’t allow him to play it in the house. John Michael didn’t know how to hold the guitar since he was ambidextrous. So he looked to see how Elvis held his guitar and that’s how John Michael decided to play it.

John Michael joined the Army at 18 with a friend. (His friend didn’t make it back.)
