036 - Phil and Tim Papotnick

Phil and Tim Papotnick got bit by the music bug early in life. In fact, Tim started playing in older brother Phil's band, The Ravens, when he was just 12 years old. They talk about traveling around playing in the Ravens during the 1960s and '70s and even give the backstory on that surprise gig opening for KISS at the Erie County Fieldhouse. They cover al the bands they played for up until the 1990s and discuss the origins of their music company, Raven Sound.
