Music... what
can
you say, there is never enough. At the age of 8, I
started playing the piano. While playing and learning songs,
I also started
singing. After a while I would try and play the songs I heard
on the
radio on the piano.
At the age of 11 I started playing the guitar. Through Jr. High

place in the Heritage

Music touches our lives in so many different ways, and has had such a
positive influence on my life. I want to share that experience with

KLAUS SCHULZKE
Klaus has always loved music -- He began listening to all types as a
youngster. He started playing in 1967 and picked up the banjo in 1984
when playing with the "No Name Band". According to Klaus, "Everyone in
the No Name Band played guitar, I wanted to play something else. At
times I even played the mouth harp to put out that extra sound".
Another love of Klaus's is working on instruments. He is one of the
best repair and set-up guys around. Klaus is one of the store's
luthiers. In 2007 Klaus became Fender-certified in Acoustic Guitars,
Electric Guitars, and Amplifiers.
Klause plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass, and numerous other
instruments. When requests come in, Klause teaches Claw Hammer Banjo.
He
likes tomatoes, too.
