Mc Nally Smith College-Music
College in Saint Paul, MN
It all started on Sunday night Feb 9, 1964 at 8pm when Jack McNally was deeply moved by the boys from Liverpool. He picked up an old Harmony guitar and started learning to play. Later, a nicer guitar, a few lessons, and the sounds of Rubber Soul on the radio drove the passion even deeper. As a music major, his time at the University of Minnesota in the early 1970's was both eye opening and frustrating - they did not respect the music he loved. Eventually he found himself teaching guitar in local music stores, as did another young guitarist, Doug Smith.
