It Started with a Guitar is a true story of how a boy, stuck in a hospital for three years with a bad hip, imagined and created the life he desired—to be a professional musician who went on to perform with stars like Lou Rawls, Tony Orlando, and Raquel Welch.Without ever attending music school, Carmen Caramanica taught jazz guitar at several colleges and universities in Upstate New York, operated his own private music studios with multiple teachers, and led a nationally reviewed and recognized jazz guitar trio.In these pages he presents the realities of trying to survive as a professional musician, from periods of near poverty to times of prosperity.“At one moment the music business can give you intense, heartfelt joy, and the next, the depressing feeling that success will never be yours.” Yet through all the joy, fear, success and struggle, the love of music survives all its trials.
