Music And Technology

Brownie McGhee was born in Tennessee (Knoxville) and was brought up in Kingsport, also in that State. As a child he had polio, which incapacitated his leg. His brother Granville "Sticks" or "Stick" McGhee was nicknamed for pushing young Brownie around in a cart. His father, George McGhee, was a factory worker known in the region around University Avenue for playing guitar and singing. No doubt McGhee got his first guitar lessons this way. An uncle of Brownie's made him his first guitar from a tin marshmallow box and a piece of old wood. McGhee spent much of his younger years immersed in music, performing with a local harmony group named the Golden Voices Gospel Quartet and he taught himself to pick guitar.
