Rock 'n' Roll Artists A-Z...Roger McGuinn

http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/mcguinn/

Founder of the Byrds

Born James Joseph McGuinn III on July 13, 1942, Chicago, Illinois. Jim McGuinn, later known as Roger, was already a veteran of the New York and Los Angeles music scene when he co-founded the group that would become the Byrds with Gene Clark and David Crosby in 1964.

Just prior to forming the Byrds, McGuinn was performing solo at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, having earlier toured and performed folk music with the Limeliters, Chad Mitchell Trio and Bobby Darin as a guitarist and banjo player.

McGuinn, a Chicago native, studied at the Old Town School of Folk Music and was a young study on Chicago's folk scene, where he was strongly influenced as a teen-ager by Bob Gibson. A couple of Jim McGuinn's home recordings from this era in collectors' hands, uploaded onto the Internet by McGuinn himself.

He recently uploaded onto the Internet a 1958 recording of "To Morrow" that he recorded as a 16-year-old. It features McGuinn on banjo and vocals, and even at that age his playing style is evident.Within a few weeks of finishing high school, McGuinn was working with the Limeliters out in California, and he can be heard on their album "Tonight: In Person."

McGuinn's 12-string and banjo playing are also evident on the Chad Mitchell Trio's album "Mighty Day on Campus" (Kapp KS3262) from 1961. After touring for awhile with singer Bobby Darin, McGuinn moved to New York where he worked in the fabled Brill Building as a songwriter when surf music was all the rage. He cowrote and performed with Darin, as the City Surfers, on a very rare surf single "Beach Ball" backed with "Sun Tan Baby," released in July 1963 (Capitol 5002).

Rest of long Bio complete with photos on this link starting with 'The Jet Set'.
