I'm excited about my guest today because I love music and he is a musician! Dave Tebo grew up in Detroit and was influenced first by the Beatles when he saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show! He knew then he wanted to play the guitar. He picked up his first guitar at age 8 and has been playing ever since.
He and his brothers formed their own band and played for tips at neighbor's homes and neighborhood events. This led to playing at other events, night clubs and he even had an opportunity to play with Ted Nugent at a local record store!
Another band that was a big influence on Dave and his guitar skills was Grand Funk Railroad. One thing led to another and in the depressed economy of Detroit in the late 1970's, he set off for the warmer climate and musical opportunities in Southern California!
There he formed a new band called Tebo Hall and started playing local gigs and venues and even had an opportunity to play at the Troubadour, the starting place of many highly successful musicians in the day. After narrowly missing a record deal, he and his band mates decided it was time to start families and find other, steady paying careers. Dave ended up starting his own successful low voltage company, providing structured cabling, communications systems, proximity access and fire alarm systems to commercial businesses in California.
We'll talk about the interesting story of how Dave and his wife discovered, and were ultimately "lured", to the lake! And he'll tell us how, after so many years, he found his second music career right here. You may have heard Dave play locally at the Tavern, the Ritz or Oconee Brewery.
Dave now records and produces his own music, and he will tell us how he does that, what kind of equipment and software that allows today's musicians to make beautiful music without a record label involved!

Lure of the Lake
Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.
I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
