Profile Information:
- Pittsburgh Connection
- Born and raised in East Liberty. 3rd son of Danny Conn. Everyone on the list below (except Sandy, whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting) has either kissed me, hugged me or patted me on the head in my lifetime. I am EXTREMELY happy to have meet them all on a personal level as a youth, usually in my dad's musty old cellar where they would play the best music I ever heard until the wee hours of the morning; my Mom, Claire, would just smile and make more coffee! Many days I would go to school at Larimer on only 4 hours sleep! Spider, thanks for letting me sit on your lap while you played that one night! Remember how you told me how you got your name? Love you man. Carlo, you beautiful, beautiful man. Feb 8, Feb 8....I will NEVER forget your birthday my friend. You were taken WAY too early..... Bobby, I remember having breakfast with you, LIFE cereal, on Shetland Ave.; you in your boxers and me in my pajamas with the stars and moons on the feet. Bill Price, you looked like you could have been an Insurance Salesman, but you played man, you played! and Chuck, you large, soft wonderful human being...you were as cool and nice as you were tall. I could go on forever, but .... (maybe I will blog later)

- Three men die and go to Heaven. St. Peter says, "Before I let you in, I need to know your financial status; please tell me how much money you made on Earth in your best year." The first man says, "I made well over a million dollars one year" "Oh, what did you do?" asked St. Peter. "I was a corporate executive for Steve Wynn." "Oh, fine, you go up THIS path.", says St. Peter. The second man said, "I made $100,000 one year" "Oh, what did you do?" "I was a Union Surveyor in Las Vegas in the 1980's" "Oh, OK, You go up THIS path then." The last man said, "I think I cleared $15,000 one year." To which St. Peter replied, "Oh yeah, what instrument did YOU play?"
- Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue
- How do you get a Bass Player off your front porch?
You pay him for the Pizza. - About Me:
- I have NO musical ability what-so-ever! My Dad's genes went to Dante and Jay. I am in awe of those of you that can earn a living doing it. I, on the other hand, do possess a very good mathematical mind and managed to become licensed as a Professional Land Surveyor in Nevada. I am married and have 4 daughters, all of whom are blessed but can't play music either!
I would say I like hanging out with musicians, but then someone might think I was the drummer. (Rim Shot goes here)
We enjoy LISTENING to you guys! Keep it up. - Artist or Fan

Yes there is still a few a places to hunt but, not a lot. Wexford still is a great town, but probably a lot different then what u would remember it to be. The people who work for the construction agency took down a lot of trees, even though there still is enough!!! Personally, I think Wexford is one of the best little towns.
