Lester was born in 1945, and, as a child, had serious problems explaining his cultural background, which included ancestry from both Native and Black America. Lester's introduction to music was sitting next to his grandmother at her piano. However, although he “tinkered around” with the piano, his instrument of choice was the drums. His skill was such that his junior high bandleader, Harold Smith, allowed him to play with the high school dance band. By the time he started high school at high school in 1960, he had been playing in the dance band for nearly two years.〔(2003) (L.A. Carnival ). StonesThrow.com. Retrieved 29 May 2007.〕
