Introduction
Tony Burns (Musician) was born in So. St. Paul, Minnesota on June 25, 1992. As a young child, he was given a small keyboard for Christmas. He quickly picked out simple tunes like "Mary Had a Little Lamb" by ear. Until he was 18, he only ever played simple tunes that require only one finger to play. He never had the idea to try playing both hands at the same time, because he thought that was way too hard. In 5th-7th grade, he played trombone with his school's band. He never learned to read music, he just played what the person next to him was playing. He hated practicing at home, and did not enjoy playing. He quit after 7th grade. March 8th, 2010, he borrowed a friend's electric guitar and amp. That was the first time he ever tried playing guitar. He took to it quickly, learning chords from a chart and songs by ear. After a month he learned to read guitar tabs, and continued learning songs. It became his favorite pastime. After about 7 months, he sat at a piano at Inver Hills Community College. He started playing The Entertainer (right hand only) as the girl that he had a crush on walked by. She was impressed and he suddenly had a good reason to keep playing piano. He started playing songs by ear, and eventually learned about chords. After 3 months, he got an offer to be in a band. There is not a band name yet, because this is still the beginning of the story.
