Mega thanks to Pat Thomas, Bob Martin, Chaz Lockwood, Stan the Man Merrell, Tom Kohn & Eric Gregory for sharing Rochester music & memories and special thanks going to Jim Huie who graciously gave access to his vinyl & memorabilia & live/studio sessions audities. And thanks to Ebay and gemm.com who facilitated the rest.

I am working on an article celebrating the musical scene that arose in Rochester from the late ’70’s and onward up until the rise of The Bug Jar in the early ’90’s.  Since many interviews will need to be conducted. The Flower City Jukebox is the soundtrack to the endeavor. Please contact me if you have a perspective to share and stories to relate about that scene.
