Tom grew up on Long Island, where he lives currently. As a child, Tom listened to a wide variety of music - bebop, standards, blues, bassa nova, and a lot of rock. Tom began teaching himself guitar when he was 11 years old. He got his first guitar when he went to visit his aunt and uncle, and saw his cousin's old classical guitar out with the garbage (quite literally)! His mom had an old book from her mother called The Joy of Guitar.
Tom immediately sat down on the living room floor with that cracked, old guitar and went through that whole book in one day! After that, he just kept going. He took some lessons while in high school and studied briefly with the great jazz guitar player and teacher Joe Monk. When he went to Hofstra University, he took a music theory class as an elective. Beyond that, Tom is mostly self-taught.
In high school and college, Tom played lead guitar in some rock bands for several years and spent time writing and arranging rock and pop tunes before becoming interested again in playing jazz guitar.
Now, Tom enjoys playing all different styles from pretty hard rock to straight-ahead jazz. There are some jazz tunes and some original rock instrumentals in the media room.

Pat Martino on Dennis Sandole
"To be honest with you, I studied Dennis more as a person than I did study his approach to music. I never really understood how to make use of his music information. It dealt a great deal with scales and with modes. Since I was self-taught, I spent just four months with Dennis before leaving for Harlem at the age of 15. What I do is totally different than what Dennis taught." (Pat Martino)

David Sebring came to Nashville in 1970 to study music. Although not a country music specialist, David became enamored of the high degree of musicianship in and around Nashville. He first appeared on the PBS documentary "Showdown at the Hoedown" in the mid 70's backing up "Woody Paul" Chrisman in the final musical dual at the Smithville Jamboree. His first Rounder Record appearance was on Butch Robbins now historic record, "40 years late". "I have had the good fortune of studying with real string masters over the years, including Chet Atkins, Jerry Byrd, Harold Bradley, Lenny Breau, Billy Grammar and Norman Blake," says David. David traveled with Norman Blake and developed his style around the acoustic guitar sound.
David met Peter Hyrka in 1995 and helped form the Gypsy Hombres. "My goal is to develope artistically as a composer, bridging the gap between classical and jazz," says David. In 1999 he and Peter Hyrka co-composed "Nuage de la Nuit," for The Gypsy Hombres with chamber orchestra.
David has performed on radio, stage, and/or T.V with such musical legends as: Minnie Pearl, Vassar Clements, Marty Stuart, Grandpa Jones, Lyle Lovett, Tiny Moore, The Nashville Bluegrass Band, The Nashville Jug Band, Uncle Walt's Band, Bill Monroe, Mark O'Connor, Buddy Spicher, Chet Atkins, Paul Yandel, Gatemouth Brown, Nashville Chamber Orchestra, Nashville Mandolin Ensemble, and many others.
David is a virtual musical encyclopedia of American music, and can play and sing over 5,000 songs from memory.

A professional musician for over thirty years, Mitch Seidman began performing in his early teens around Albany, New York, and continued in Boston in 1973 after relocating to continue his education. A Kenny Burrell record first inspired him to pursue jazz guitar, and soon after became inspired by the late Attila Zoller through study and a friendship that began in 1974. In 1979 he moved to New York City where he freelanced in styles of jazz from traditional and swing to progressive, then returned to Boston in 1985 and became one of New England’s busiest jazz guitarists.
Mitch has appeared in the Boston area at the Regattabar, Scullers, Ryles, and the Willow Jazz Club, Papashon in Los Angeles, along with numerous jazz clubs and concert venues throughout New England. While residing in New York City he appeared at Jazzmania, The Other End, the Red Blazer II, and Folk City. Mitch performed at the Jazz is Toulon festival in France, and was an artist-in-residence for the Centro Cultural Norteamericano in Costa Rica. He’s appeared at the Internationales Jazz Guitar Meeting in Germany with guitarist Fred Fried and bassist John Goldsby, and performs annually at the Classic American Guitar Show in New York.

(from WikipediA) - William Schultz, chairman of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, of which Guild Guitars was a subsidiary, asked Smith if he would be willing to return his endorsement to the Guild Artist Award. Familiar with Schultz's management, and knowing that the construction would be supervised by master luthier Bob Benedetto, Smith agreed. The Guild Johnny Smith Award by Benedetto was available through Guild dealers until early 2006 when Benedetto left Fender. Unlike Guild and Gibson, Heritage Guitars discontinued manufacture of their Smith-designed guitar after Smith withdrew his endorsement.
His most famous musical composition is the tune "Walk, Don't Run", written for a 1955 recording session as counter-melody to the chord changes of "Softly, As in the Morning Sunrise". Another guitarist Chet Atkins covered the song. Some musicians who became The Ventures heard the Atkins version, simplified it and speeded it up and made it into a big hit in 1960.
A few of the available Johnny Smith CDs. Not a lot of his albums have been reissued. His great catalog of work needs to be released. One of the all time great guitarists.
