The "Dream"...
The Journey of T. Gath's Music: Established 1973
In 1973, a seemingly ordinary day turned into the genesis of a lifelong passion. My parents took me to a merchandise catalog store named Century in Ithaca, NY. Little did they know, this trip would ignite a spark that would define a quest that would guide me through my life. My parents took me to Century that day to buy me a six-string acoustic 'Norma' guitar, and with that purchase, my journey into the world of music began.

The Beginning of a Musical Odyssey
The moment my fingers touched the strings of that Norma guitar, I knew I had found my calling. The acoustic resonance, the vibration of the strings, and the harmony created from simple chords captivated me. From that day forward, I was dedicated to mastering this instrument and immersing myself in the art of music.
Learning to play the guitar was not just about strumming chords or picking notes; it was about expressing emotions, telling stories, and connecting with something greater. The early days were filled with relentless practice, sore fingers, and an insatiable hunger to improve. Every chord progression learned and every song mastered was a step closer to becoming the musician I aspired to be.
The Pursuit of Musical Excellence
Over the years, my dedication to guitar playing grew into a full-fledged pursuit of musical excellence. I immersed myself in various genres, from rock to blues, cajun and country music, always seeking to expand my musical horizons. This journey was not without its challenges, but each obstacle only fueled my determination to succeed.
Playing in bands, performing at local venues, and collaborating with other musicians became a way of life. These experiences enriched my understanding of music and honed my skills, allowing me to develop a unique style and voice as a guitarist.
