Musical Background: Absolutely none unless you want to count playing the trombone in junior high (and really poorly at that) as a musical background. I did sing quite a bit while on watch in the Navy. On a submarine in the middle of a patrol it is extremely boring so we spent many hours making up perverted songs. They don’t translate very well into civilian life.

Gear: Duct tape, stick pins and digital camera.

Who would you like to play you in the movie about your life: Burt Reynolds in his Smokey and the Bandit Days. He wouldn’t need to wear his hairpiece.

Sound you love: A nice steady rain at night.

Sound you hate: Whining kids around my feet. The older I get, the worse it gets.

Job you would most love to try other then your current one: Sports columnist. Mainly football, hockey, basketball, baseball, etc., etc., etc. Either that or a Playboy photographer.

Favorite curse word: Of course the very popular F-Word! It must be said with conviction to be used properly. Although I am not nearly as talented in using it as Raven.

What CD is currently in your car player: I never listen to them so there isn’t one. I would first have to figure out how to use it.

Last good movie you saw: Apocolypto

Favorite State Fair Food: Corn dogs

Musical Background: When they deemed me ready for my mission and I was dismissed from the Mothership, the scout ship (you'd call it a UFO) dropped me in the northern Metro suburbs in the late 90's. The info they gave me said my name was Tom Bednar, b 3/28/1950. (What the heck, couldn't they have made me a twenty-something??) I do not remember what my original mission was, 'cuz I wandered into a bar where people were making "music". I thought, "To heck with the mission, I wanna be a Rock-n-Roller." After nearly a decade with my original band, as Fan Club president, roadie, light guy, chief cook and bottle washer, that group, ummm, dis-banded. (Sorry, I've waited years to use that line...) Then I discovered "Rock - It - Science" and my life was complete again.

Musical Talents: Air Piano, Air Guitar, Air Drums. I sing OK, if the music is loud and my mic isn't plugged in.

Gear: Chauvet Follow Spot

Favorite Bands/Artists: For my own entertainment, I dig New Age, Electronica, Celtic Folk, and da Blooz. (Actually almost any genre of music except New Awlins Jazz and Rap). Big Shoulders (80's blues band from Chicago), Crow, Gypsy, Jean Michele Jarre, Gordon Lightfoot, Clannad, Vince Guaraldi.

Who would you want to play you in the movie about your life: Steve Carrell (40 year old virgin)

Sound you love: Cats purring.

Sound you hate: "That's him, Officer!"

Job you would love to try other than your current one: Custom Motorcycle Builder

Favorite curse word: I can't say that here.... OH! You mean in public? "Furshlugginer", of course !

What CD is currently in your CD player: In the 'Puter, "Windows XP For Dummies", in my car, "Big Shoulders"

Last good movie you saw: Million Dollar Baby

Favorite State Fair Food: All of it!
