As I said on the intro page, we as a family have some very diverse interests!! Allow me to cover a few (and link to some other sites and related content).<\/p>\n

Music\/Sound\/Recording<\/strong><\/p>\n I have been playing piano since I was a young child, and have played the Buffalo Bar circuit on an off since the late 1980’s. My wife is also a talented guitarist\/vocalist (although she won’t admit it!). \u00a0Some bands I have been in in the past which are still together today are Kanayamz, and\u00a0Silver Xtreme<\/a>. If you are ever in the area, check them out – they are both very entertaining bands! Just to prove that I have a sense of humor, here is a\u00a0blast from the past<\/a> – this is a very old poster (I’m the freak in the lower right hand corner). Also, one of my oldest friends and bandmate (PJ Lorenzo<\/a>) just sent me this\u00a0CD cover<\/a> from the old Anthem project. He has a great web site you may want to check out at\u00a0www.pjlorenzo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Currently, I am playing\u00a0with a few old friends.\u00a0 Check us out at\u00a0www.20-years-later.com<\/a>. \u00a0I also provide live sound reinforcement for local acts such as Back to the Bars<\/a>, and recording services for others such as\u00a0Darrell Porter<\/a>.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Ham Radio<\/strong> .<\/p>\n Motorcycling<\/strong> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" .

\nBoth my wife (Joyce – KC2GJY) and I (Marc – N2UBT) are avid amateur radio enthusiasts. We try to stay as active as possible and enjoy volunteering for a few public service activities a year. Our favorite used to be the annual Raccoon Rally mountain bike race sponsored by WNYMBA which is held at Allegany State Park every year. A group of us handled this event for about 7 years and it grew into a weekend camping\/radio event. We started out with 4 operators for one day and it then became a 3 day weekend camping trip with about a dozen manned checkpoints and a very comfortable \u2018Net Control\u2019<\/a> (Thanks to Bill – N2QJG and the RV).<\/p>\n
\nBoth my wife an I ride as much as is possible. Unfortunately, I feel the season is a bit too short here in the PA Wilds area!! Currently we share a bunch of bikes:<\/p>\n\n
