Biography
Gerald was born in France in 1948, and emigrated to Toronto with his parents in
1956. His musical career started with a high school rock band in which Gerald
played lead guitar. Then, between 1967 and 1969, he traveled around Ontario
playing for the rock band Hudson''s Bay Company.
Over the next sixteen years, Gerald alternated between satisfying his spiritual needs
and his material needs, traveling across Canada and the U.S.
In 1987, Gerald married and set up home in Midland, Ontario. The stability of
marriage and the love of a supportive wife provided the impetus for Gerald to start
a career designing and making unique, top-quality furniture, which he did between
1990 and 1998.
In 1996, a friend of Gerald''s made a suggestion that would start Gerald off in yet
another direction: he suggested that Gerald brush up on his classical guitar.
Gerald started taking lessons, and got his Grade 5 classical guitar in 1997. In 1998,
Gerald combined his musical and furniture-making skills, and made his own
classical guitar. (This is the guitar pictured on the CD cover, and was used to make
the recording.)
In 2000, Gerald started writing his own music, with the end result being his first
CD, produced in December 2000. Since then, Gerald has built a second guitar, started a third,
and has written enough songs for a second CD to be produced in early 2002, and a
third CD to be produced at a later date.
