Heyborne started playing the guitar when he was 15. He and his friends had just discovered the Beatles the year before and were figuring out "Let it Be" on the piano. Since there were three of them, only one could play the piano at a time. "If we were to play together, someone had to bring in a new : instrument. I found an old guitar at my house and played around with it. I went to a music store to buy a "How-to" book and found a Beatles songbook. It had all their songs with the chord charts and fingerings above the lyrics. I learned to play guitar (and every ev-ery song) from that book," said Heyborne. After being introduced to the guitar by the Beatles, Heyborne searched for new and challenging challeng-ing songs. "I learned a lot of standards. Yes, even 'Stairway to Heaven'. After three months of learning new chords and other people's songs, I decided to start writing my own." "By the end of my 9th grade year, I was performing my original origi-nal songs, along with plenty of Beatles covers, at my friend Tyler Ty-ler Bastian's house. We would do shows in his greenhouse in Draper, Drap-er, Utah. I found an old home video of one of the concerts, and I was surprised that so many people came." When Heyborne was a sophomore, sopho-more, he recorded a short album called "Pennies for the Player" with a 4-track mixer, a micro-Dhone micro-Dhone hanging from a ceiling fan in this kid's bedroom, and another microphone taped to his guitar. They made 50 copies and sold them all. That year, he kept writing new songs and performing perform-ing in Tyler's greenhouse. . In the fall of 1993, Heyborne was an avid follower of the band "Ali Ali Oxen Fre." They would play in Provo at a place called Pier 54. Heyborne played a few songs during their break and met Steve Lemmon, the guitarist and singer, and they recorded a "bigger and better" album at his Spiral Studios during the spring of 1994. ; -V; " i - .- f ...

Kirby Heyborne After recording the album "Looking for Tomorrow," Heyborne Hey-borne hooked up with "the coolest, cool-est, long-haired, chick-magnet-artist," Marc Thorup. "He was a wizard on the guitar. I had been an acquaintance of Marc's since 6th grade. Through a common friend, I was reintroduced to him and we hit it off both musically and as friends," said Heyborne.
