MIKE ZITO discovered his love for rock n roll after receiving a Van Halen record for his birthday. He eagerly picked up an electric guitar and headed to his local guitar shop in St. Louis, Missouri. There he found the legendary Chuck Berry and Bennie Smith who played in the store. Zito soaked up the sounds from the shop, and at 19, burst out on the St. Louis music scene.
