Eugene "Chico" Ledesma
Clarinet & Guitar

I continued to play until about 1972, had a chance to meet and play with some of the musicians I idolized as a kid. That finished it. Went home took a factory job in 1973 at Western Electric, which for me morphed into AT&T Technologies, Lucent Technologies, Bell Research Laboratories. During those years I went to night school for twelve years, and retired after 30 years as a Software Engineer. Been divorced twice, had a daughter by my first wife, and two guitar playing sons by my second wife. I’ve been seeing someone for over 5 years & we’re both good with things just the way they are. Joe my youngest son will graduate from High School at the end of May, and Nick the oldest is a audio Engineering (Music/Sound) Major in his Junior Year of college. Nick also works a internship at a recording studio in Chicago. Has been to Sweden to record at the invitation of a Swedish rock group & does quite well recording groups & done graphics (DVD covers Labels) for a Canadian & a Italian metal band. They’re both excellent guitar players. As for me, don’t think I’ve picked up a guitar in over ten years. My Daughter Melissa has given me 4 beautiful Grandchildren. Was Offered a job by the County a few years ago as a building inspector, been doing that ever since, waiting for the boys to finish school so I can retire for good. I build PC’s as a hobby, and have created > 30 to order & Specs mostly for recording techs. Keeps me sober, been dry for 15 years thanks to God & AA. Looking forward to seeing everyone, I’m sure it’ll be eventful
