Before Mark Nelson, Ph.D. earned those initials after his name and was given the "Distinguished Alumni Award" from Gannon University, he was just a drummer in a bunch of Erie bands like Live Wire (with John Rainey) and eventually the ever-popular Wiggling Judies. Mark talks about his time playing everything from heavy metal, to "modern" original music, and even some country. Don't miss his stories about meeting Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong or what happened when he and his band mates had to go to small claims court.
