Béla
Balogh, a
first generation American, started playing violin when he was four years
old, studying under his grandfather, a leader of a Hungarian gypsy ensemble,
and his father, a conductor and touring concert violinist. Later
he studied with Sister Jeanette Wood, Sister Anne Cecil Daigle and violinist
Hollis Taylor. After playing classical violin for many years, Béla
drifted into the dark, dark world of rock and roll, performing with the
band Greased Priest, The Willies, and the band Lobe,
a progressive weird rock band starring Courtney
Von Drehle. Béla, an absolute wacko, speaks fluent Hungarian
with his family, friends, and even people he doesn't know, causing a bit
of a stir on city buses, the DMV and whenever he gets pulled over for a
headlight being out. Because of this wonderful gift, Béla
has a clean driving record.
