Slide guitarist/singer/songwriter: Paul Mayasich
Paul plays a mean broom, ask his mom!
Paul's guitar playing started when he was a boy living in the Red House on the Iron Range of Minnesota. Paul would mimic slide guitar great Duane Allman while playing his mom's broom with his oldest brother, Joe's, socket for a slide. It was common to hear "Paul, where's my broom?" or "What's this green paint all over my sockets?" in those days in the Red House close to Moon Lake by Eveleth, MN.
Graduating from broom slide, Paul would then secretly play his brother, Greg's, guitar when he wasn't home. Well Greg practically invited Paul to do so when he uttered the invitation on the way out the door, "Now Paul, don't you dare touch my guitar." What was a younger brother to do?
It wasn't until the old age of 12 when Paul received his first guitar, a brown Hondo (a Les Paul replica) from his parents for Christmas. No gift before or after has meant so much. The rest is history. Paul has had a guitar in his hands ever since.
Check out one of Paul's shows sometime soon and see how the broom-schooled boy has faired.
