The musical education of the Fogerty household started when both brothers were young and they both have had good exposure to different genres, especially rock and roll, blues and country music.
They spent all their childhood with records and learning how to play different musical instruments. Indeed, Dan was older than John and could occasionally guide the latter in his music practice. Their home was their studio and they started to rehearse various works and styles that later would form the material for their album.
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area at this time both Fogerty brothers were immersed in a diverse selection of musical styles. The cultural variety of the area and the new rock movement sprouting later would help shape their sound and content selection.
Career
When Dan started playing the bass guitar for real was in late 1950s when he and John formed a group known as the Blue Velvets. This initial partnership would go on to turn into Creedence Clearwater Revival, although Dan was not actually an original member of it.
Still, he wanted to follow musical career and did not become well-known musician, but worked as the one behind the scenes experimenting with different positions in the sphere of music.
