Ernie Ball
Ernie Ball (born Roland Sherwood Ball; August 30, 1930 – September 9, 2004) was an American entrepreneur, musician, and innovator, widely acclaimed as a revolutionary in the development of guitar-related products. He began as a club and local television musician and small business entrepreneur, building an international business in guitars and accessories that would eventually gross US$40 million a year. ==Early years== Ball was born Roland Sherwood Ball in Santa Monica, California, USA, and grew up in a musical family, the son of Frances (née Shankland) and Roland Adelbert Ball.〔 His paternal grandfather, Ernest Ball, wrote the standard, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"〔Music Trades, No. 9, Vol. 152; Pg. 177; ISSN: 0027-4488: Ernie Ball; Deaths; October 1, 2004〕 and his father was a car salesman who taught Hawaiian steel guitar on the side.〔Guitar Pioneer Ernie Ball Dies At 74; Knight Ridder Tribune Business News, Pg. 1; September 10, 2004; Huff, Ryan〕 Although Ball initially picked up the steel at age nine to please his father, he became bored and gave it up. In his early teens he began to take a renewed interest in the instrument, practicing as many as three hours a day. Within a year he was a member of the Musicians Union.
