Curtis Smith

Curtis Smith grew up loving the music of the 1950s and remembers the first 45 record he ever bought was "Cry" by Johnny Ray. While working in the aerospace industry Curtis continued collecting records and attending concerts of his favorite performers including Little Richard. When he and his wife retired to Carlsbad, Curtis learned about the NAMM Foundation’s  Museum of Making Music and soon signed up as a volunteer where he has provided presentations on Doowop music to the volunteers and provided countless tours to visitors of all ages.
