So, you going anywhere for the holidays? I get an all-expense paid trip to Clarion, Pennsylvania! According to the always reliable Wikipedia, football and motorsports are very popular in my home state. I’d add that domestic beer and Wal-Mart are popular, as well. We’re not known for much in the way of music, but I’d like to take a poll and see how many bands/musicians we can name that hail from Pennsylvania. I can think of Tommy Dorsey, Rusted Root, Pearls & Brass, The Roots, Joe Grushecky and the Iron City Houserockers, Poison, Hall & Oates, Live. I know Ted Nugent’s family lives near Fryburg, PA and he supposedly hunts deer and turkey in the woods near my house. My mom saw him at a sauerkraut fest in the early 80s. But aside from the Nooj, are there any other bands I’m leaving off this list? Help me out here.
