The exercise also meant his asthma improved. These lessons combined with running, walking, and swimming, helped Don to develop breath control, which would later allow him to sing long, continuous phrases, in songs such as “Crying”, without taking a breath. He would often perform shows for family and friends.Īs a teenager, he purchased his first guitar (a Harmony F Hole with a sunburst finish) from the House of Music in New Rochelle and took voice lessons paid for by his sister. Childhood asthma meant that Don missed long periods of school and while he slipped back in his studies, his love of music was allowed to flourish.
By the age of five he had developed an interest in all forms of music and would spend hours listening to the radio and records that were around the house.
Don McLean was born on October 2, 1945, in New Rochelle, New York, to Elizabeth and Donald McLean.
