Musonia School of Music

When I was much younger, I met Randy Rhoads. He gave me a business card when I inquired about taking guitar lessons from him.
I went out and bought my first guitar: a Gibson Les Paul standard model in tobacco finish. I called Randy at Musonia only to learn that he had just gotten the Ozzy gig and would not be teaching at the store anymore.
A few years later, I called Mrs. Rhoads and she told me that her current guitar teacher, Craig Turner, was available and was very good.
And she was right. I studied with Craig for years at Musonia playing out of Randy’s old practice amp in the class room where he taught. Those were some of the best times of my life.
Mrs. Rhoads, Craig, and Kelle were always very nice to me, although I did not know Kelle very well at all, but he was very kind.
I have since moved away, but I miss those days, I miss those times, and I wish that I could attend Musonia again.

This is where I took drum lessons when I was 12 yrs old. From Kelle Rhoads, Randy Rhoads’ brother. Randy and I played in his Mom’s school’s orchestra together. Randy went on to become Ozzy Osbourne’s first guitarist.
My parents bought their first house on the same street as Musonia. 12 309 Tiara St. Randy and Kelle were both such sweet guys.
Kelle, ti’s been a few years, but you taught me all the basics and I still play in bands! Thanks for the great memories and thanks for remembering my hip father, Joseph Baron when I last came to visit you. It’s been too long!
I live down in San Diego now, but will get up to visit again one of these days. Gosh, if Delores is still around, she has got be about 93 now! Thanks for keeping Musonia going!
