==Background==
Conoscenti grew up in the Chicago area and first played drums in garage bands and flute in his high school symphony band. His musical influences were diverse while at home he heard his mother's big band music while his father listened to the music of Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, and Tony Bennett. Conoscenti also listened to Chicago radio station WLS-FM which played a lot of Detroit "Motown" music.〔 He bought his first acoustic guitar for $50 in 1974 in Boulder, Colorado at a yard sale, and began writing songs and performing in public.〔McKinley, Mark. (The Artistry of Don Conoscenti. ) Mogswebsite.com. December 2002.〕 A self-taught musician, Conoscenti said he learned to play guitar by watching and listening to other musicians.〔 Conoscenti began to experiment with psychedelics, and spent many hours in the meditation hall of the Naropa Institute in Boulder during the summer that Ram Dass was doing a residency there. This was on the heels of Dass's seminal book ''Be Here Now'', published in 1971.〔Tempo staff. ("Be Here Now" Turns 40. ) ''Taos News'', July 19, 2010.〕 That summer culminated in a spiritual awakening that set Conoscenti on his lifelong spiritual path. In late 1971 Conoscenti hitchhiked to California where he continued to write songs and play guitar. Don’s spiritual training continued in a San Jose barrio where he fasted, meditated, and widened his cultural horizons.
