Worlds of Music 1986-2026 

Celebrating 40 Years! Guy Louis Sferlazza III Rocks On!

Recently met up with old friend, Rick Smith, a very talented photographer who took this photo in Worlds of Music Studio G, October 2025. He was also there at the beginning of my professional career in 1986.

 Oakland University, 1986

Rick was working at OU, when I started music studies at the university. He took this image at that time with the Renaissance Lute, a gift from a great instructor in early music at the U, Lyle Nordstrom.

Rick called saying he needed an image for the magazine on short notice. We met out on my front lawn 20 minutes later. Anything for an old friend.
