Don Christopher Kassay started playing drums when he was 4 years old. in 1965 when he was a sophmore in high school he and his best friend formed their first band. The band consisted of 7 members that included a 3 piece horn section. The band typically played a variety of top 40 rock and Mowtown cover songs such as the Rolling Stones, The Who, Tempations, Wilson Picket, Four Tops, Otis Redding and Marvin Gay. Although he was only 15 years old at the time, the band became very popular and was a big success playing at least 3 nights a week and they even had their own club that was managed by the local Boy Scout Troop. They also had another big advantage over other local bands, their manager was the editor of the local paper and was also the local boy scout troop leader. In 1972 shortly after graduating from college, he hired an agent and almost immediately became a highly recuited professional tour drummer. In 1995, after 23 years touring, he decided to semi-retire and pursue other oppoturnites in the music business. This is when he started Thunder & Lighting Concert Productions, Thunder Mastering Studios and Don C. Kassay Publishing Company. In October of 2009 Don decided to start his own social network because he was not satisfied with the other social networks on the Internet. That is when he started the Music Network. The Music Network has only one theme and that iheme is MUSIC. You do not have to be a musician to join the Music Network but you do need to enjoy music, because that is what all the members do on the Music Network, talk about music.
